161A.72 ADMINISTRATION.
1. Financial incentives provided under this chapter shall be
administered by the division. The incentives shall be supported with
funds appropriated by the general assembly, and moneys available to
or obtained by the division or the committee from public or private
sources, including but not limited to the United States, other
states, or private organizations. The division shall adopt all rules
consistent with chapter 17A necessary to carry out the purpose of
this division as provided in section 161A.70.
2. The commissioners of a district shall, to the extent funding
is available, contract with a person who is an owner or occupant of
land within the district applying to establish soil and water
conservation practices as provided in this chapter. Under the
agreement, the person shall receive financial incentives to establish
permanent soil and water conservation practices and management
practices, in consideration for promising to maintain the practices
according to rules adopted by the division. If the land subject to
an agreement is converted to a nonagricultural use that does not
require a permanent soil and water conservation practice which has
been established with financial incentives, the permanent soil and
water conservation practice shall not be removed until the owner pays
an amount to the district, which shall be deposited into a fund
established by the district for use in providing financial incentives
under this chapter. The amount shall be a prorated share of the
amount paid in financial incentives to establish the practice, as
provided in rules adopted by the division. Section History: Recent Form
