RCPP Project ID:2724 <br /> Exhibits <br /> Exhibit 1.: Land Management / Land Treatment / Land Restoration (Land <br /> Management) <br /> Introduction: NRCS management of RCPP Land Management Activity awards is informed by project level <br /> expectations (documented here), award templates,program requirements, and related policy (including <br /> NRCS practice and activity standards and other federal requirements such as standards of fiduciary <br /> responsibility, privacy laws, and environmental requirements). <br /> Expectations established during the initial Program Partnership Agreement(PPA)negotiations may be <br /> revisited or adjusted during the term of the PPA where NRCS determines that changes are consistent with <br /> program requirements. <br /> Purpose: This Exhibit documents negotiated project level expectations of Land Management activity awards. <br /> Background: NRCS will generally follow processes associated with the planning, assessment, ranking, and <br /> contract management of similar Farm Bill programs in the administration of RCPP Land Management <br /> activities. However, a key feature of RCPP projects is the opportunity for partners to help NRCS identify <br /> alternative procedures to deliver conservation benefits while meeting policy requirements. <br /> Items in this exhibit are subject to NRCS lead state discretion and the specific needs of each project, unless <br /> they are included in the "Required on All Projects ..." section of the Table below. These required items are <br /> non-discretionary and must be addressed at the time of initial agreement execution. <br /> Section 1A-Financial Assistance Expectations for Land Management Activity Awards: <br /> Table IA: Financial Assistance Expectations for Land Management Activity Awards <br /> Contracting Expectations: Land Management awards will be made via <br /> producer contracts for work on eligible land(as determined by NRCS). <br /> Land Management awards will generally be limited to eligible producers, <br /> potentially to include eligible partners (with control of land)where similar <br /> ;Land Management FA Awards contracting authorities exist in related covered programs. <br /> Producer Cost Share and Contributions: Producer provided cost share in <br /> Land Management contracts cannot be included as RCPP PPA partner <br /> contributions. <br /> Page 23 of 51 <br />
