 prevention and control, the CDD will request the 

 SCS to provide more trained technical assistance 

 for control and prevention of saline seep. 



44. To cost-share saline seep control practices, the 

 CDD will work with Agriculural Stabilization and 

 Conservation Service on the National Farm Pro- 

 gram to allow implementation of flexible- 



45. 



cropping systems without penalty to the farmer. A 

 cost-share program for well drilling and other 

 field work necessary to develop a reclamation 

 plan for individual farmers will be considered. 



To support locally operated saline seep control 

 programs such as the Triangle Saline Seep Pro- 

 gram. 



CONCERN: FLOODING

 ning boards to enforce local floodplain regula- 

 tions.

landowners for habitat improvements or protec- 

 tion. Based on committee recommendations pilot i 

 programs will be established, and these programs j 

 will be supervised by the committee. j 



49. To develop fish and wildlife habitat plans in con- i 

 junction with farm conservation plans, the CDD '\ 

 will request the SCS and CDs to ask all Ian- ; 

 downers to consider developing habitat plans in 

 conjunction wih their conservation plans. I 



50. To develop fish and wildlife improvement pro- ] 

 jects and educational programs, the CDD will re- 

 quest the CDs to give fish and wildlife improve- 

 ment projects high priority in their planning ac- 1 

 tivities. 



CONCERN: FORESTRY

52. To adopt forestry practices for the CDs' water 



quality management plans, the CDD will assist 

 CDs to use the practices outlined by the Depart-
