In order to make these goals a reality, many conservation practices must be installed and maintained. Some of the conservation practices in the watershed include terraces, grassed waterways, streambank stabilization and filter strips.

Terraces are a great practice to reduce sediment in Price Creek. Terraces are built around a hillside and either slow runoff and guide it to the bottom of the hill or collect runoff and store it until the runoff can be absorbed by the ground. For terraces to reduce sediment, they must be properly designed and maintained, a task that landowners in the Price Creek watershed are committed to doing.

Another conservation practice being done in the Price Creek watershed are grassed waterways. These natural or constructed channels move surface water across the land without causing soil erosion. With more than one ton of sediment per acre per year being delivered to Price Creek, grassed waterways are very important in reducing this number to a more appropriate ratio.

Gully erosion is one of the ways sediment is delivered to Price Creek, but countering this is the use of grade stabilization structures. These structures are used to drop water to a lower elevation while protecting soil from gully erosion.

Filter strips are strips of grass or other vegetation used to trap sediment and (pollutants attached to it) from runoff in Price Creek. This pratice is very effective in trapping sediment in the 19,000-acre watershed.

Those interested in improving the Price Creek watershed are also in the process of developing a nutrient management plan. This type of management helps keep excess nutrients out of surface and groundwater. Nutrient management is a simple solution to the problems in Price Creek because it reduces costs to landowners, is fairly easy to implement and most of all, creates higher quality water.
