Sec. 632.21  Reclamation plan.

    (a) Responsibility. Land users are responsible for developing a 
reclamation plan that will serve as a basis for a contract. Normally, a 
land user will need the technical services of NRCS and the conservation 
district or another professional to develop an acceptable plan.
    (b) Objectives and priorities. The reclamation plan is to provide 
for the appropriate program objectives and priorities as stated in 
Secs. 632.2 and 632.12 and meet the definition of a reclamation plan as 
defined in Sec. 632.4.
    (c) Review. (1) In areas served by conservation districts, 
reclamation plans are to be reviewed and signed by the district board to 
insure that planned land use and treatment is compatible with 
surrounding land uses and that proposed assistance is consistent with 
the district plan of work and priorities. In areas not served by 
conservation districts, the land use compatibility review may be 
performed by the local reclamation committee.
    (2) If reclamation plans include lands within or adjacent to Federal 
lands, the plan is to be reviewed with the appropriate Federal land 
management agency to insure that the planned land use is compatible with 
that of the surrounding area.
    (3) Land users are responsible for insuring that the proposed land 
use and treatment is compatible with local land use ordinances.
    (d) Approval. Proposed land use, conservation treatment, and 
sequence of application contained in the plan are to be agreed to by 
both NRCS and the land user. The district conservationist is to sign the 
reclamation plan to indicate technical approval.
