These <br />measures were usually invoked during periods of predicted, or <br />actual, heavy rains and/or severe weather. <br />The Project Director had the emergency authority to <br />suspend seeding of individual ce lIs or larger weather systems. This <br />procedure was invoked whenever there was a potential for S4were <br />weather conditions over the target area. <br />Termination of seeding efforts, for any other reason, <br />was the responsibility of the Steering Committee, which was composed <br />of members selected from the three counties. The "local control" was <br />a part of House Bill 860 which provided for an "Advisory Committee to <br />the Department of Agriculture". Members of the Committee were: <br /> <br />Kent County..
