Part 512 - Wetland Conservation 

 512.40(a) (2) (ii) (B)(1) 



(I) If the producer has a drainage worksheet 

 or other acceptable information on file and a site review has been 

 made, maintenance will be allowed without an additional field review, 

 providing the proposed maintenance does not exceed scope and effect of 

 previous drainage as documented by SCS. The district conservationist 

 will notify ASCS that the activity is maintenance. 



(II) If no drainage worksheet or other 

 acceptable information is on file, the producer will be required to 

 complete one and SCS will docxament the scope and effect of the 

 drainage system. The district conservationist will generate a new 

 CPA-026 if necessary. A new CPA-026 will be generated in all cases 

 except when a CPA-026 for this maintenance activity is the same as 

 indicated on a previous CPA-026 for the seune wetland. If a new 

 CPA-026 is not necessary, the district conservationist will notify 

 ASCS that the activity is maintenance using a copy of the previous 

 CPA-026. A field visit will be necessary to verify information 

 provided by the landowner and to document the scope and effect of 

 prior drainage. 



(III) If the person has not received a 

 wetland determination, the district conservationist will follow 

 standard procedures and provide a wetland determination to the person 

 and ASCS. All farmed wetlands and farmed wetlands pasture require 

 drainage docvimentation. 



(TV) SCS will make an on-site review of all 

 proposed maintenance activities; however, when this can not be done in 

 a timely manner, prioritization of field documentation on farmed 

 wetlands (FW) and farmed wetlands pasture (FWP) will be as follows: 



1. Proposed changes to drainage systems such 

 as deepening, enlarging, or relocation of drainage ditches and tile 

 lines. (Field Visits 100%)
