Sec. 702.12  Availability of cost-share payments.

    (a) Cost-share payments shall be made available to a participant in 
a CRSC Contract upon a determination by the COC that SCS has certified 
that

[[Page 46]]

the eligible SRP or an identifiable portion thereof has been established 
in accordance with the appropriate standards and specifications and that 
such SRP would serve the functional purposes for which the practice is 
intended.
    (b) Cost-share payments may be made available under this part only 
for the establishment or installation of an eligible SRP.
    (c) Cost-share assistance may be approved for the replacement, 
enlargement, or restoration of SRP's installed under a CRSC Contract if 
such practices, as originally installed, failed to achieve the desired 
salinity reduction and if:
    (1) The replacement, enlargement, or restoration of the SRP is 
required to solve identified problems or to achieve salt reduction 
benefits;
    (2) The approved specifications for the SRP were met in the original 
installation of the practice; and
    (3) The failure of the SRP to solve the identified problem or to 
achieve salt reduction benefits was caused by circumstances beyond the 
control of the participant.
    (d) If a participant has taken any action which tends to defeat the 
purposes of the program provided for by this part, the COC may withhold 
or require a refund of all or part of any payments otherwise due or paid 
that participant in accordance with this part. Such actions include, but 
are not limited to, failure to properly maintain or deliberately 
destroying a SRP.
