It varies from county to county based on the capacity of local service center. Many offices require you to make an appointment before coming in to request those documents. It also depends on if you have an existing account with them on record or if you need to establish operator status for the land you wish to enroll, etc.

You can view sample documents below to ensure the documents you receive meet the eligibility criteria for the Alliance.

The CPA-52 Environmental Evaluation Worksheet is a required review used by the Natural Resources Conservation Service to make sure conservation practices won’t negatively impact environmental or cultural resources. In practical terms, it’s a compliance check. It helps confirm that planned activities — like planting, grazing changes, or other conservation practices — won’t harm things like wetlands, endangered species habitat, or historic sites.

Projects funded through the USDA’s Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) initiative must meet federal environmental compliance requirements. As of September 2025, the CPA-52 Environmental Evaluation Worksheet is required for all practices. Before a producer can enroll in the Alliance and begin implementing practices, the CPA-52 evaluation must be completed and approved.

Producers who have enrolled once before are still eligible. Producers who have previously enrolled twice are not eligible for this round.

Absolutely!  As long as you meet the program eligibility, you are welcome to apply.
