A separate land treatment watershed protection project has been authorized for the 2,700-acre Martin Lateral watershed. Since authorized for operations in July 1981, there have been three separate land treatment contracts developed and approved covering 218 acres in the watershed. Five additional contracts are awaiting funding ($220,000) to complete this small project. Major practices include land leveling, water control structures, lateral improvements, and irrigation sprinkler systems. These contracts are similar to the LTA's under ACP, however, the funds are provided by SCS and the landowner contracts are with SCS for long-term implementation. 16
