TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 42--EMERGENCY CONSERVATION PROGRAM
Sec. 2201. Payments to agricultural producers for carrying out
wind erosion control or rehabilitation measures; criteria
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make payments to
agricultural producers who carry out emergency measures to control wind
erosion on farmlands or to rehabilitate farmlands damaged by wind
erosion, floods, hurricanes, or other natural disasters when, as a
result of the foregoing, new conservation problems have been created
that (1) if not treated, will impair or endanger the land, (2)
materially affect the productive capacity of the land, (3) represent
damage that is unusual in character and, except for wind erosion, is not
the type that would recur frequently in the same area, and (4) will be
so costly to rehabilitate that Federal assistance is or will be required
to return the land to productive agricultural use.
