  1 11    Section 1.  Section 161A.7, Code 1997, is amended by adding
  1 12 the following new subsection:
  1 13    NEW SUBSECTION.  15.  To provide for the restoration of
  1 14 permanent soil and water conservation practices which are
  1 15 damaged or destroyed because of a disaster emergency as
  1 16 provided in section 161A.75.
  1 17    Sec. 2.  NEW SECTION.  161A.75  USE OF MONEYS FOR EMERGENCY
  1 18 REPAIRS.
  1 19    1.  The commissioners of a district may allocate moneys
  1 20 otherwise available for voluntary financial incentive programs
  1 21 as provided in section 161A.73 to provide for the restoration
  1 22 of permanent soil and water conservation practices which are
  1 23 damaged or destroyed because of a disaster emergency.  In
  1 24 providing for the restoration, the commissioners may allocate
  1 25 moneys under this section for construction, reconstruction,
  1 26 installation, or repair projects.  For each project the
  1 27 commissioners must determine that the allocation is necessary
  1 28 in order to restore permanent soil and water conservation
  1 29 practices in order to prevent erosion in excess of the
  1 30 applicable soil loss limits caused by the disaster emergency.
  1 31    2.  In order to allocate moneys under this section, the
  1 32 disaster emergency must have occurred in an area subject to a
  1 33 state of disaster emergency pursuant to a proclamation made by
  1 34 the governor as provided in section 29C.6.  The commissioners
  1 35 shall use the moneys only to the extent that moneys from other
  2  1 sources, including any moneys provided by the state or federal
  2  2 government in response to the disaster emergency, are not
  2  3 adequate.  The commissioners are not required to allocate the
  2  4 moneys on a cost-share basis.
  2  5    3.  Following the disaster emergency, the commissioners
  2  6 shall submit a report to the committee providing information
  2  7 regarding restoration projects and moneys allocated under this
  2  8 section for the projects.
