• Focus of program is on damaged cropland.
• Non-cropland located between cropland and riparian source must be included in the easement.
• Compensation for these acres limited to 50% of cropland eligible acres. Balance must be donated.
• Points awarded here for those donating all of the non-crop acres.

Slide 17
• We are not anticipating much in the way of restoration of wetlands in the floodplain. Crop cessation will be the major restoration activity.
• If present, removal of dikes/levies to restore the extent of the floodplain will likely be required.
