Perley Brook's water quality is presently threatened with nutrient loading from several agricultural fields and pastures, primarily due to run-off from both livestock and row crop activities. Approximately 52% of the watershed is estimated to be in agricultural production activities. Working with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, the St. John Valley SWCD contacted and worked with area landowners in designing site-specific erosion and nutrient control BMPs for six sites. As this project developed the District also worked with the Maine Dept. of Agriculture in assisting a landowner with a separate grant application. The District also worked to install additional BMPs as EQIP funds became available, freeing up 319 funds for other BMP work as well as a watershed survey of the remaining section of South Perley Brook.
