Conservation practices prescribed in SHIP conservation plans will reflect those referenced from NRCS national conservation practice standards where applicable and shall be implemented according to these standards and specifications unless otherwise authorized by a Commission technical representative. Conservation practice reimbursement rates shall be set by the SHIP program staff using a standard average cost (unit cost) for conservation practices based on NRCS EQIP or similar program payment rates. These average costs will be reviewed and updated by the SHIP program staff as necessary based on NRCS cost updates and/or best professional judgment to maintain or improve incentive for adoption. A list of SHIP relevant conservation practices and associated reimbursement rates shall be maintained throughout the program. The Commission shall set a maximum program payment per participant that cannot be exceeded for the active conservation plan.
