Rule 391-3-28-.03 - Drought Fund Establishment and Operation

Universal Citation: GA Rules and Regs r 391-3-28-.03
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through September 23, 2024

The expenditure of these funds is to be considered an incentive to agricultural permittees not to irrigate lands after a severe drought declaration and is therefore deemed by the legislature a valid use of state moneys to promote valid land and water use practices which result in the protection of the riverine environment by ensuring that such lands not be irrigated for specified periods of time. No expenditure of funds under this article shall be considered full or partial compensation for any losses, financial or otherwise, experienced due to nonirrigation, a lease or repurchase of any irrigation permit issued by the Director, nor shall it be considered an acknowledgment by the State of Georgia of a property right in any permit issued by the Director.
