PA Clean Water Academy

All horse owners are regulated under the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law to manage manure and control sediment erosion on their operations.

This course introduces the new Agricultural Erosion and Sediment Control Manual.

This course is comprised of the PA4R Summer 2020 Nutrient Management Webinar Series.  Topics will relate to applying the Right Nutrient Sources at the Right Rate, Right Time, and Right Place.  The course has three modules.

After this course, learners will be able to perform the following: adopt good biosecurity management practices for entering livestock and poultry premises; be familiar with personal protective equipment (PPE) and understand proper procedures for donning and doffing; recognize quarantine signs and know how to proceed on quarantined premises; identify clinical signs in animals that could indicate a dangerous transmissible disease; and lastly, how to report concerns to the Bureau of Animal Health and Diagnostic Services.

This course is a recorded webinar which was given to conservation district staff on 05/21/2020.

The webinar will introduce conservation district staff to the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP) and Pennsylvania Conservation Explorer, an online tool for conservation planning and environmental review. The tool provides access to biodiversity information, leading to better planning and fewer project impacts on rare, threatened, endangered species and resources of special concern.
