The Program's purpose is to reduce negative impacts agricultural chemicals have on groundwater and the environment by preventing groundwater contamination before it occurs through improved agricultural chemical management. Agricultural chemicals covered under this legislation include commercial fertilizers and all pesticides. This report summarizes the efforts of the Agricultural Chemicals and Groundwater Protection Program since inception and provides an overview of activities and monitoring data.
