Weimer, State Conservationist signed that he had approved the plan. Regula- tions authorizing these employees to sign this contract have not been found. The conservation plan was revised December 19, 1995. This revision was certi- fied technically correct by Lenny Lang, and approved by Jeff Burwell. Regula- tions authorizing these employees to sign this contract have not been found. Section 1 of this contract states in part that each undersioned person aorees to participate in the CRSC prooram accordino to the contract terms and 7 CFR Part 702. Some of these terms are: . OMID will provide the United States a Federal Tax 10 number for IRS use. . OMID will fully comply with all contract terms and associated regulations. If OMID fails to fully comply with all terms, all orant money will be re- funded. . The United States shall have the right to employ lawful means to enforce or redress an injury by OMID, USDA, or any others. . Each person sionino this contract shall fully comply with all aspects of the Salinity Control Plan (SCP), includino the stated percentaoe of contribu- tion. The United States will provide $200,000, and develop plans for re- habilitating the four plus mile MML at an estimated cost of $1,500,000. This contributed share represents about 13% of the total cost. (Later the grant amount was increased to $400,000 which represents a 27% share by unilateral initialling.) . All parties have agree to perform the salinity control practices on the lands identified for this contract. The associated regulations state eligible land is that land that has been identified as a salt source area; is the subject of a public Salinity Control Report; has been irrigated at least two of the years between 1982 and 1986, and OMID owns the land MML serves by deed or lease. . OMID agree to obtain the authorities, rights, easements, or other approv- als necessary to maintain and repair the SRP's. Comment: One of the approvals aMID must obtain before entering into this capital project agreement is landowner approval by vote according to law. That approval has not been obtained. NRSC employees were first advised dur- ing the spring of 1995 that OMID had not met this contract term. Non the less, the United States issued this grant during the spring of 1997 after the question was in litigation. 14 ----.....- ~, '~~~"
