161A.75 USE OF MONEYS FOR EMERGENCY REPAIRS.
1. The commissioners of a district may allocate moneys otherwise
available for voluntary financial incentive programs as provided in
section 161A.73 to provide for the restoration of permanent soil and
water conservation practices which are damaged or destroyed because
of a disaster emergency. In providing for the restoration, the
commissioners may allocate moneys under this section for
construction, reconstruction, installation, or repair projects. For
each project the commissioners must determine that the allocation is
necessary in order to restore permanent soil and water conservation
practices in order to prevent erosion in excess of the applicable
soil loss limits caused by the disaster emergency.
2. In order to allocate moneys under this section, the disaster
emergency must have occurred in an area subject to a state of
disaster emergency pursuant to a proclamation made by the governor as
provided in section 29C.6. The commissioners shall use the moneys
only to the extent that moneys from other sources, including any
moneys provided by the state or federal government in response to the
disaster emergency, are not adequate. The commissioners are not
required to allocate the moneys on a cost-share basis.
3. Following the disaster emergency, the commissioners shall
submit a report to the committee providing information regarding
restoration projects and moneys allocated under this section for the
projects. Section History: Recent Form
