Sec. 701.47  Program availability.

    (a) The county committee may implement the program subject to the 
availability of funds where new conservation problems have been created 
on farmland by a natural disaster or wind erosion which, if not treated; 
will:
    (1) Impair or endanger the land or water resource.
    (2) Materially affects the productive capacity of the land or water 
resource.
    (3) Represent damage which is unusual in character and, except for 
wind erosion, shall not be the type that would recur frequently in the 
same area.
    (4) Be so costly to rehabilitate that Federal assistance is or will 
be required to return the land to productive agricultural use.
    (b) Subject to the availability of funds, the county committee with 
the concurrence of the State committee and approval of the Deputy 
Administrator, State and County Operations may implement the program to 
carry out emergency water conservation and water enhancement measures 
during periods of severe drought.
