Program Description The National Agriculture Compliance Assistance Center is the "first stop" for people in the agricultural community who need information about complying with environmental regulations. The Ag Center offers comprehensive, easy-tounderstand information about approaches to compliance that are both environmentally protective and agriculturally sound. The Ag Center also provides information on reducing pollution and making good use of the latest pollution prevention technologies. Working with USDA and other groups, the Ag Center seeks to increase compliance by helping the agricultural community identify flexible, common sense ways to comply with the environmental requirements that affect their businesses. Growers, livestock producers, other agri-business, and agricultural information and education providers can access the Ag Center’s resources easily via phone, fax, mail, and internet communications. The user-friendly website is regularly updated and expanded with current news, compliance policies and guidelines, pollution prevention information, sources of additional information and expertise, and summaries of regulatory initiatives and requirements. It also includes compliance oriented publications and brochures on a wide variety of topics including pesticides, animal waste management, groundwater and surface water, tanks and containment, and solid and hazardous waste which can be downloaded or ordered free of charge by contacting the Ag Center.
