§ 701.20 - Encumbering land.

In order to receive cost-share assistance for a conservation practice in a Salinity Control Project area, a person participating in the program shall agree, as a condition of eligibility to receive such assistance, that a recordable encumbrance may be filed by FSA with respect to the land on which the conservation practice is installed. Such encumbrance shall reflect the amount of the cost-share assistance which is received by the program participant for the practice and shall continue until such time as the established lifespan for the practice has expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this requirement may be waived by the county committee if such committee determines, with the concurrence of the State committee and after consultation with appropriate Federal, State and local authorities, that the land will not likely be converted to a nonagricultural use within the next five years.
