BPRC&D will expand on the current statewide comprehensive farm energy audit and implementation program to incorporate a focus on a select number of innovative energy conservation practices not yet supported by NRCS-EQIP. This will be achieved through in-depth trialing, on farm demonstration and documentation.

2012
Demonstrate efficacy of utilizing the proven technology of motion activated devices that play digital recordings of sound as a deterrent to wildlife to also apply to brown bears on the Kenai Peninsula. The devices utilize the sound of human shouting to enhance the deterrent of shock from an existing electric fence. The intent is to have brown bears associating the human voice with pain and shock from electric fencing to cause otherwise conditioned bears to fee at the sound of shouting alone.

2012
The project will demonstrate and quantify the effectiveness of combining nutrient management practices and irrigation water management practices with a denitrifying woodchip bioreactor to minimize and trap nutrient losses from agricultural fields. Agricultural nitrate pollution is a major concern in Morro
Bay and a growing concern throughout California. A denitrifying woodchip bioreactor is proven technology that has yet to achieve widespread use in California. By incorporating nutrient and irrigation water management practices, farmers will reduce the amount of nutrient loss from their fields. By treating tile water with a denitrifying woodchip bioreactor, farmers will further reduce the nitrate loading before discharging to the environment or re-using the water for irrigation.
