Show PART IV MEANS FOR MEETING NEEDS This snow pack will furnish next summers water supply Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service provides financial assistance for the application of approved conservation prac- tices. For those practices on which the Soil Conservation Service has technical responsibility, Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP), assistance requests are referred to SCS technicians who determine need and feasibility, provide designs, layouts and specifications, supervise installation, and certify compliance to technical standards. REAP cost- shared practices include irrigation canal laterals, farm ponds, pipelines, land leveling, spring development, water control structures, debris basins, streambank protection, channel improvement, and water tanks or troughs. County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committees help coordinate REAP with the objectives and activities of the local soil conservation district. 73 |
