**[1/]{.underline}** Some components of a practice may be cost shared at
a different unit. For example, earthwork for a\
Dike, 356, is cost shared by the cubic yard.

**[2/]{.underline}** Incentive Payment Practices, SEE BELOW FOR UNIT
COSTS.

**[3/]{.underline}** These practices are for use in conjunction with the
Land Use Conversion Incentive Practice to facilitate\
use after area is converted to grass

**[4/]{.underline}** Introduction of new practice, \$10,000 cap per
contract

## Incentive Payment Practices -- Lower South Platte - GSWC

> To be eligible for the Land Use Conversion practices, land must have
> been irrigated 2 of the past 5 years, and a well test conducted by a
> Colorado Certified Well Tester after August 1, 2006 will be required.
> The participant must have a conservation plan that controls wind and
> water erosion to "T" on converted acres. Contract must be a minimum of
> 4 years, incentive payment allowed for 3 consecutive years, unless
> otherwise noted below, and maximum contract amount includes the total
> incentive and cost share payments.
>
> Practices approved for Incentive Payments and approved rates for
> Fiscal Year 2007
