The Agricultural Chemical Cleanup Program (ACCP) has two separate functions. First, the program identifies and helps manage the clean up of releases of pesticide and fertilizer spills to prevent these products from reaching the groundwater. Once a site has been identified as needing a clean up, the ACCP program provides reimbursement for eligible costs incurred by the responsible persons.

Since 1994, when the ACCP program was initiated, we have begun over 509 facility-related clean ups and closed out over 287 facility-related cleanup cases. In addition, we also responded to and closed out over 97% (848) of the 874 reported spills of agrichemicals. Over the years we have also received over 950 reimbursement applications and have paid out nearly $33 million in reimbursements.
