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 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.
