COLORADO 2007 EQIP ELIGIBLE CONSERVATION PRACTICES
AND COST SHARE RATES
FOR GROUND AND SURFACE WATER CONSERVATION
HIGH PLAINS AQUIFER (OGALLALA)
To be eligible for the Land Use Conversion practices, land must have
been irrigated 2 of the past 5 years, and a well test conducted by a
Colorado Certified Well Tester after August 1, 2006 will be
required. The
participant must have a conservation plan that controls wind and
water erosion to “T” on converted acres.
Contract must be a minimum of 4 years, incentive payment
allowed for 3 consecutive years, unless otherwise noted below, and
maximum contract amount includes the incentive payments and other
cost share practices needed to facilitate conversion.
LONG TERM CONVERSION (5 years):
To be eligible, applicant must provide a well
capacity test
no more than 6 months old, must have a conservation plan that
controls wind and water erosion to “T”
on converted acres, land must have been irrigated 2 of the past 5
years, and the irrigation well must be
rendered unusable by removing the pump or the pump power supply.
If converting to grazing land, the
pumping system must be replaced with one capable of pumping only
sufficient water for livestock
grazing use. The
producer must enter into a long term maintenance agreement for the
last two years of
conversion. If water source
is from a surface diversion, diversion records must be provided for
the
previous three years to determine the water supply capacity (a three
year average will be used).
PERMANENT CONVERSION:
To be eligible, applicant must provide a well capacity test
no more
than 6 months old, must have a conservation plan that controls wind
and water erosion to “T” on converted acres, land must have been
irrigated 2 of the past 5 years, and the irrigation well must be
properly capped and abandoned and the high capacity well permit must
be surrendered back to the State of
Practices approved for Incentive Payments and approved rates for
