Farmstead Assessment

The Farmstead Assessment Program is a voluntary educational program designed to assist farmers and ranchers in other rural residences assessing the risks to groundwater contamination at their farmstead. A checklist guides participants through the assessment process. The questions in the checklist identify potential sources of groundwater contamination. Supplemental publications provide background information to help reduce the contamination risks.
