Conservation declarations
Status: in_force

Sec. 1. The following are declared as a matter of legislative determination:

(1) That the land and water resources of Indiana are among the basic assets of Indiana and that the proper management of these resources is necessary to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of Indiana.

(2) That improper land use practices and failure to control and use rainfall and runoff water cause and contribute to deterioration and waste of these resources of Indiana.

(3) That the breaking of natural grass, plant, and forest cover has interfered with the natural factors of soil stabilization, causing loosening of soil and exhaustion of humus and developing a soil condition that favors excessive runoff and erosion, with the following results:

(A) The topsoil is being blown and washed out of the fields and pastures.

(B) There has been an accelerated washing of sloping fields.

(C) These processes of erosion by wind and water speed up with removal of the topsoil, exposing the less absorptive, less protective, less productive, and more erosive subsoil.

(4) That valuable water resources are being lost causing damages in watersheds.

(5) That failure by a land occupier to properly manage the soil and water causes a washing and blowing of these resources onto other land and makes the conservation of these resources on the other land more difficult.

(6) That the consequences of soil erosion and failure to control and use rainfall and runoff water are the following:

(A) The silting and sedimentation of stream channels, reservoirs, dams, ditches, and harbors.

(B) The loss of fertile soil material.

(C) The piling up of soil on lower slopes and the deposit over alluvial plains.

(D) The reduction in productivity or outright ruin of bottom land by flooding and overwash of poor subsoil material, sand, and gravel swept out of the hills.

(E) The deterioration of soil and the soil's fertility, deterioration of crops grown, and reduction in crop yields.

(F) The loss of soil and water that causes destruction of food and cover for wildlife.

(G) A blowing and washing of soil into streams and lakes that silts over spawning beds and destroys water plants, diminishing the food supply of fish.

(H) A diminishing of the underground water reserve and loss of surplus rainfall runoff causing water shortages, intensifying periods of drought, and causing crop failures.

(I) An increase in the speed and volume of rainfall runoff, causing severe and increasing floods.

(J) Economic hardship for those attempting to farm land that is eroded or subject to frequent flooding.

(K) Damage to roads, highways, railways, farm buildings, and other property from floods and from dust storms.

(L) Losses in navigation, hydroelectric power, municipal water supply, recreational water development, irrigation developments, farming, and grazing.

(7) That to conserve soil and water resources, control and prevent soil erosion, protect water quality, reduce flood damage, and further the conservation development, use, and disposal of water, it is necessary that:

(A) land use practices contributing to soil and water wastage, water quality impairment, and soil erosion be discouraged and discontinued; and

(B) appropriate soil and water conserving land use practices and works of improvement for flood prevention or the conservation development, use, and disposal of water be adopted and carried out.

(8) That among the procedures necessary for widespread adoption are the following:

(A) Carrying on of engineering operations such as the construction of flood preventing reservoirs and channels, terraces, terrace outlets, check dams, dikes, ponds, ditches, and similar operations.

(B) The use of soil protecting agronomic practices, such as strip cropping, contour cropping, and conservation tillage.

(C) Land irrigation.

(D) Seeding and planting of sloping, abandoned, or eroded land to water-conserving and erosion-preventing plants, trees, and grasses.

(E) Forestation and reforestation.

(F) Rotation of crops.

(G) Soil stabilization with trees, grasses, legumes, and other thick-growing, soil-holding crops.

(H) Retardation of runoff by impounding the runoff water behind structures, by increasing the absorption of rainfall, and by retiring from cultivation all steep, highly erosive areas and areas already badly eroded.

(I) The use of water quality protection practices, including nutrient and pesticide management on all lands.

Requirements for a county's admission to membership in an existing watershed development commission
Status: in_force

Sec. 6. (a) A county to which section 4 or 5 of this chapter applies may not become a member of an existing watershed development commission unless:

(1) the executives of all of the counties that are members of the existing commission adopt ordinances accepting the county as a member county of the existing commission; and

(2) the natural resources commission issues an order under this section recognizing the county as a member county of the existing commission.

(b) Before making a decision whether to recognize a county as a member county of an existing commission under this section, the natural resources commission shall hold at least one (1) public hearing in the county concerning the proposed membership of the county in the existing commission. Any interested person attending a public hearing held under this subsection shall have the right to:

(1) address the natural resources commission; and

(2) provide written comments;

concerning the proposed membership of the county in the existing commission. The division of water, on behalf of the natural resources commission, may convene the meeting, record the testimony given, and receive the written comments provided.

(c) The division of water, on behalf of the natural resources commission, shall give notice of a public hearing to be held under subsection (b):

(1) by publication at least one (1) time in one (1) newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the hearing will be held; and

(2) through the website of the natural resources commission.

(d) In deciding whether to recognize a county to which section 4 or 5 of this chapter applies as a member of an existing commission, the natural resources commission shall determine the answer to each of the following questions:

(1) Do the stated purposes for which the watershed development commission was established correspond to the flood damage reduction, drainage, storm water management, recreation, or water infrastructure needs of the county, as stated under section 4(b)(3) or 5(b)(3) of this chapter?

(2) Is it reasonable to expect that the county's flood damage reduction, drainage, storm water management, recreation, or water infrastructure needs, as stated under section 4(b)(3) or 5(b)(3) of this chapter, would be addressed more effectively if the county were a member of the existing commission than those needs have previously been addressed?

(3) Would the county's membership in the existing commission diminish the effectiveness of the existing watershed development commission in addressing the flood damage reduction, drainage, storm water management, recreation, or water infrastructure needs of other member counties?

(4) Is the territory of the proposed commission at least as large as the entirety of the same eight (8) digit U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic unit code?

(5) Has a regional watershed study or watershed management plan been conducted in consultation with Indiana finance authority and the department of natural resources that assesses water use, water quality, drinking water systems, wastewater management systems, storm water management, flood control, drainage management, recreational uses, natural resources, and water infrastructure needs of the watershed of the proposed commission? If so, can the establishment of the proposed commission be expected to address the needs identified in that study or management plan?

(e) If the natural resources commission answers all of the questions set forth in subsection (d) favorably, the natural resources commission shall issue an order recognizing the membership of the county in the existing commission.

(f) If the natural resources commission does not answer all of the questions set forth in subsection (d) favorably, the natural resources commission shall inform the executive of the county to which section 4 or 5 of this chapter applies in writing of its decision and specify in the writing the reason or reasons for each unfavorable answer.

(g) An action of the natural resources commission under this section declining to recognize a county as a member of an established watershed development commission does not preclude the later submission of another ordinance under section 4 or 5 of this chapter seeking membership for the county in an existing commission.
