<p style="padding-bottom: 8px;">This document does not supersede any policy or procedure and only provides additional information regarding the implementation of the following Special Provision statement, which is part of the Actuarial Documents for certain states and counties that may have acreage impacted by a breached levee:</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">
"<em>Land flooded due to a breach in a levee resulting from prior year(s) flooding is insurable. The applicable rate will be assigned based on conditions of the levee and soils on the latter of the sales closing date or earliest planting date. If, by that date, the levee has not been repaired to prior specifications, or if damaged soil (if any) has not been restored to at least the same crop yield potential as prior to the flood event, the land will be classified as high-risk and will have the highest rate classification in the county. However, if the levee is repaired to prior design specifications, and the soil has at least the same crop yield potential as before the flood, the land will be classified as shown on the current crop year Actuarial Map. If the levee has been temporarily or permanently repaired, but not to prior design specifications, by the latter of the sales closing date or earliest planting date, and the soil has at least the same crop yield potential as before the flood, then RMA may adjust the rate to an amount consistent with the level of flood risk by written agreement, if applicable. For RMA to consider any levee repair, RMA must be provided a certification from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or signed and sealed certification from a professional engineer who is currently licensed and registered in the state where the levee is located. For soils to be considered restored to the same crop yield potential as before the flood, you must sign a statement that damaged soil (if any) has been restored to at least the same crop yield potential as prior to the flood event</em>."</p>

                            <span class="dropLetterA hidden-print">A</span> <div class="faqAnswer"><p> As part of the Actuarial Documents, the statement notifies policyholders that land flooded by a levee breach is insurable. Additionally, the statement ensures crop insurance premium rates adequately reflect the risk associated with growing crops in an area that, due to the breach, may have an increased risk of flood or diminished yield potential. </p>
<p>
Since the breached levee statement is a condition of insurance, it must be posted to the Actuarial Documents by the Contract Change Date (CCD), which is several months before the insurance period begins. If the land is restored and the levee is repaired to prior specifications by the latter of the Sales Closing Date (SCD) or the Earliest Planting Date (EPD) (if there is an earliest planting date), then the rate classification for that land will be as designated in the crop year Actuarial Documents. However, if the breached levee hasn’t been repaired to prior specifications nor has it been temporarily or permanently repaired (but not to prior specifications) by the dates listed in the statement, then the land will receive the highest rate classification in the county as shown on the Actuarial Documents. </p></div>

However, if your acreage is subject to the breached levee statement, but it did not flood, you may submit a high-risk (HR) written agreement request through your crop insurance agent, and the RMA Regional Office will consider it. Your agent will know the requirements of an HR written agreement request. Please state in the request the reason (s) you are submitting the high-risk written agreement request.

It should be noted that any written agreement requests from acreage that is subject to the breached levee statement will be considered a new high-risk request. This applies to 2019-issued written agreements in which the RMA Regional Office issued a reduced high-risk rate. A 2020 crop year request would normally be considered a renewal request but, due to the breach in the levee, which is a significant change in conditions, it would be considered a new request.

Crop insurance contract terms and conditions for the upcoming crop year are announced by the CCD. Terms and conditions include rates, transitional yields, actuarial maps, and all Special Provisions, including the breached levee statement. Posting this information by the CCD allows AIPs, crop insurance agents, agricultural producers, and the public adequate time to understand the terms and conditions of insurance for the upcoming crop year. <br>

The existing breached levee statement can be modified for subsequent crop years based on new information regarding levee repairs, provided the new information is received well before the CCD to allow for adequate analysis, review, and possible implementation by RMA.</div>

If the breached levee has been repaired after the SCD or EPD, but before you planted your crop, RMA will re-examine the high-risk rate for your acreage. However, as noted in an earlier Question and Answer on certification, RMA must receive certification regarding the levee repair from the USACE or a signed and sealed certification from a professional engineer who is currently licensed and registered in the state where the levee is located. The date of levee repair completion must be before you plant your crop. RMA may require a crop inspection in these cases.    <br>

Damage includes erosion (e.g., gullies, scour), debris, or sedimentation. Restoration means adequately addressing eroded land (e.g., leveling gullies), clearing debris and sediment from the field or, in the case of light sediment, incorporating it into the soil. In general, you should consult agricultural experts regarding the best way to restore damaged soils. All actions taken to restore damaged soils must be documented. Your AIP will need to make certain determinations regarding whether the land has been repaired and/or restored.</div>

                            <span class="dropLetterA hidden-print">A</span> <div class="faqAnswer">Even if the breached levee system is repaired, the breached levee statement still requires that damage soils (if any) be restored to at least the same crop yield potential as prior to the flood event. As noted in the previous Question and Answer, damage includes erosion (e.g., gullies, scour), debris, or sedimentation. Restoration means adequately addressing eroded land (e.g. leveling gullies), clearing debris and sediment from the field or, in the case of light sediment, incorporating it into the soil. You should consult agricultural experts regarding the best way to restore damaged soils. You must restore any damaged soils AND sign/date a self-certification which states: <em>“Soils affected by the breached levee have been restored to at least the same crop potential as prior to the flood event.”</em> <br>
<br>
You must retain this signed and dated self-certification statement for your records and provide it, upon request, to your AIP. Your AIP will need to make certain determinations regarding whether the land has been repaired and/or restored. If you do not restore damaged soils to at least the same crop potential as prior to the flood event, you will not satisfy the breached levee statement. Therefore, acreage with the damaged soils will receive the highest rate classification in the County as shown on the Actuarial Documents. The signed and dated statement is considered part of your crop insurance records (see Section 21 of the Common Crop Insurance Policy, Basic Provisions).</div>

Therefore, you must follow the version of the breached levee statement in your crop’s applicable state/county Actuarial Documents.  The statement you noted is associated with fall-planted crops (such as winter wheat) which had a CCD of June 30, 2020. Since the 2020 crop year fall-planted crop SCD or EPD have passed, winter wheat and other fall-planted crops in these breached levee areas are subject to the language in the statement and, therefore, will be classified as high-risk and will have the highest rate classification in the County, unless a written agreement has been issued on your acreage.</div>
