The PSWCD is a non-profit, political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia operating primarily on a grant basis with funds from state and local organizations.  Amelia, Nottoway and Prince Edward Counties comprise the Piedmont District.  All three counties contain hydrologic units which are within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.  The District realizes the effects of local water quality on the Chesapeake Bay and strives to educate citizens about the impacts of soil and water conservation.  Community participation in conserving soil, water and related resources is encouraged through a variety of programs, with a particular focus on impacts of non-point source pollution.  The PSWCD office is located in the Prince Edward County Industrial Park in Farmville, Virginia.  

The office maintains steady customer traffic from citizens of all three counties, seeking information and direction for implementing conservation practices.
