Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP)

How it works

The Onslow County page describes the Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP) as a voluntary program developed by the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation using grant funds. It follows the model of the NC Agriculture Cost Share Program, but is aimed at urban, suburban, and rural landowners rather than agriculture alone.

The page says the goal is to help landowners reduce their contribution to nonpoint source pollution. It specifically notes that CCAP will not be used to aid new development and will not be used to meet the requirements of existing regulations.

What the money covers

The page does not provide a list of exact practices or a homeowner-facing menu of approved project types. It frames the program generally as support for conservation practices that help control erosion and runoff and improve water quality.

Amounts and matching

No homeowner dollar amount, match rate, or reimbursement formula is stated on the county page. The only concrete funding detail on the page is historical context showing that similar local programs have used grant funding, including a $30,000 grant for Mecklenburg County’s Urban Cost Share Program that was matched by City of Charlotte Stormwater Services.

How to apply

The visible page text does not provide application steps, a form, or contact instructions specific to CCAP.

Timing and deadlines

The page presents CCAP as an ongoing program background page. It does not state an open/close date, funding round, or deadline.
