This proposed project was applicable only to agricultural lands within the boundaries of the Coastal Zone Area in Refugio and Aransas Counties.  The development and implementation of Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs) in the Coastal Zone Area was the project's primary task. This provided the agricultural producers with the opportunity to comply with state water quality laws through a voluntary, incentive-based approach.  Best management practices included precision landforming, nutrient management, grade stabilization structures, terraces, grassed waterways, pasture planting, crossfencing and livestock watering facilities
