Maryland agriculture is vital to the long-term health of the state's economy, environment and quality of life. Maryland farmers - like homeowners and all residents - play a key role in protecting our state's natural resources, especially the Chesapeake Bay.
Maryland farmers are conservation leaders in the Bay region because they use various conservation measures to produce healthy crops and livestock while protecting the environment and maintaining profitable businesses. Well-managed agricultural land provides many more environmental benefits than developed land.

The sediment control planner works closely with the Carroll County Bureau of Development Review and the Bureau of Water Resource Management to review construction drawings for urban development. The planner reviews construction drawings to ensure sediment control measures comply with local, state and federal laws, regulations and ordinances. The Planner also works with landowners to help address soil erosion and water quality issues. Finally, the Planner assists farmers with the permit process for building agricultural structures that the MDA or NRCS does not consider best management practices.
