6. The measures Needed, Estimated Cost, ane Financial Plan for Accom lis <br /> Suter q V <br /> In y Improvement <br /> See attached table. <br /> 7. Potential for ACP to Assist in Gettin2 Needed Land Treatment measures <br /> Carried Out <br /> The RC&D project is scheduled for 8 years, but the "ACP Special Fund," <br /> part of the assistance could easily be handled on a 3-year basis. The total ' <br /> funds requested is $171,730 and we feel that there should be a requirement that <br /> all conservation practices must be installed in a period of one year or funds <br /> would be obligated to someone else. <br /> 8. USDA Technical Assistance and other Funds or Programs that will be Used <br /> to Im lement the Project <br /> To meet the objective of this project, farmers who want to be involved <br /> must be cooperators of the Orange Soil and Water Conservation District. With <br /> the assistance of all local agencies - ASCS, SCS, NCFS, Extension Service and <br /> other local agencies, a conservation plan will be developed for the protection <br /> and maintenance of all practices to be cost--shared. Farmers will be responsible <br /> for performing operation and maintenance. After the conservation plan has been <br /> developed, an operation and maintenance agreement will be entered into between <br /> the Orange Soil and Water Conservation District, ASC County Committee, and the i <br /> A <br /> Cooperator. <br /> Operations and maintenance work will normally include such actions as <br /> annual application of fertilizer to maintain vegetative cover, replacement of <br /> t <br /> spot loss that endengers the installation, repairing fences, replanting trees, <br /> clearing debris that affect operation of works of improvement, sealing or <br /> repairing structures to prevent deterioration, and reseeding or resedding to <br /> ensure stands of cover and vegetative control of undesirable plant growth. <br /> i <br />
