- (a) Allocation of funds. The state board may allocate funds appropriated from general revenue fund to SWCDs for brush control. Such allocations may be adjusted throughout the year as available funds and SWCD needs and priorities change in order to achieve the most efficient use of state funds.
- (b) Requests for allocations. SWCDs within areas designated for brush control cost-share must submit written requests for a cost-share fund allocation to the state board and shall include average costs of brush control and maximum allowable cost-share per individual approved by the district for the program year.
- (c) Approval of allocations. The state board shall consider and approve, reject, or adjust SWCD requests for allocations giving consideration to relative need for funding, SWCD workload and fund balances, as well as other information deemed necessary by the state board. Only districts for which the state board has established an allocation are eligible to claim cost-share funds.
