History and Background

The Special Area Land Treatment (SALT) program was established as a pilot program in 1986. The local soil and water conservation districts use the SALT program to work with landowners to reduce soil erosion on crop, pasture and woodland and to target special assistance in a priority watershed. A priority watershed is one where the district has identified a priority issue or problem needing to be addressed on a watershed basis. SALT identified problems might include soil erosion, contaminated drinking water, stream degradation, or contaminated lakes or streams.

The goal of the SALT program was to treat a minimum of 80% of the land needing treatment within a five-year period. Since 1986, over one hundred seventy locally led SALT projects have completed throughout Missouri.
