				  for the life of the signed agreement. The Division shall provide a mechanism to
				  acquire and record easements and leases for NC-CREP. The Division shall provide
				  a survey where needed to develop legal description of the easement area.

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) The NC-CREP
				  combines federal and state funding to achieve the goals of the program. For
				  that reason, the eligible person may receive two separate payments (i.e.
				  federal and state) to meet expectations set by the applicable
				  contracts.
(b) The State payment
				  shall be dependent on the length of the contract signed. The State payment
				  shall consist of a one-time bonus payment for executed contracts for 30-year
				  and permanent enrollments that require a conservation easement or lease. The
				  State shall also pay a portion of cost-sharable practices implemented within
				  the guidelines of the ACSP subject to availability of funds to the District.
				  Any agricultural cost share payments shall be consistent with all Commission
				  requirements, including those in
				  02 NCAC
				  59D .0101-59D
				  .0108.
(c)
				  For enrollments involving the ACSP, all cost-share practices are subject to
				  terms and policies as set forth in the ACSP rules and best management practices
				  manual. State cost-share percentages, listed below, shall be dependent on the
				  length of enrollment. All payments involving ACSP funds shall require approval
				  of the local District Board of Supervisors, and are subject to the availability
				  of funds to the District.
10 year
25 percent
15 year
30 percent
30 year
40 percent
permanent agreement
50 percent
(d) The maximum one-time bonus payment under
				  NC-CREP that an eligible person can receive shall be limited by the maximum
				  payment allowed under the federal payment. The payment for enrollment of land
				  in 30-year or permanent conservation easements or leases shall be made once the
				  conservation easement or lease is executed by the State and a technical
				  representative has determined that the participant is actively engaged in the
				  applicable practices.
(e) The
				  formula for payment of the one-time State bonus shall be as established in the
				  2-CRP Manual, subject to the availability of funds.

				  their forest land. If services needed or desired are not offered by the
