Sec. 633.13  Violations and remedies.

    (a) In the event of a violation of an agreement or any associated 
conservation plan, the parties to the agreement shall be given 
reasonable notice and an opportunity to voluntarily correct the 
violation within 30 days of the date of the notice, or such additional 
time as the State Conservationist may allow.
    (b) In addition to any and all legal and equitable remedies as may 
be available to the NRCS under applicable law, the NRCS may withhold any 
annual or cost-share payments owing to the parties of the agreement at 
any time there is a material breach of the agreement or any conservation 
plan. Such withheld funds may be used to offset costs incurred by the 
NRCS in any remedial actions or retained as damages pursuant to court 
order or settlement agreement.
    (c) The NRCS shall be entitled to recover any and all administrative 
and legal costs, including attorney's fees or expenses, associated with 
any enforcement or remedial action.
