How to Enroll in FDACS BMPs:

1.      Schedule a meeting with a Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Best Management Practices (BMP) coordinator, who will provide a free BMP manual and other BMP-related information (i.e.- cost- share opportunities, etc.). 

2.     Participate with the coordinator in a free assessment of your operation to determine which BMPs apply to you. 

3.     Fill out a BMP checklist and sign the Notice of Intent (NOI) to implement the BMPs.

4.     Keep a copy of the checklist and signed NOI in your records.

5.     Implement and maintain the applicable BMPs and keep adequate records to maintain a presumption of compliance with state water-quality standards.

To begin the enrollment process, email AgBMPHelp@FreshFromFlorida.com.
