§ 929.109 - Unusual circumstances as used in determining base quantities.

Unusual circumstances, as used in § 929.48(a)(3), shall include but not necessarily be limited to the taking of property under the power of eminent domain and also “Acts of God,” such as an earthquake, seashore erosion, encroachment of sand dunes, saline contamination due to prolonged inundation, a forest fire, and any other circumstances which are beyond the grower's control and destroy the ability of a cranberry bog to produce cranberries to such an extent that the bog is found, in the judgment of the committee, to be permanently lost for commercial purposes. When a grower believes he has lost cranberry acreage due to “unusual circumstances” under the provisions of § 929.48, he shall apply and furnish information to the committee to sufficiently establish that “unusual circumstances” exist.
