The 2009 Delaware AMA Program
The 2009 Delaware AMA Program is offering
a pilot program for the remediation of abandoned poultry houses. NRCS is
offering financial assistance to landowners to remove the house and rehabilitate
the site because of the potential for nutrients, like nitrogen, to leech into
the ground water. Funds will help participants pay to have the site
professionally renovated—including chipping old lumber, removing the existing
dirt floor, land applying the spoil from the dirt floor, placing new soil
material in the footprint of the old poultry house and reseeding the area.
Applications will be ranked by priority and only a limited number of houses
will be selected. Payment percentages may be as high as 90 percent for
historically underserved groups.
