In the installation or application of any eligible project or practice the landowner shall be solely responsible for assuring compliance with any applicable federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, and rules and regulations. The landowner is also solely responsible for obtaining all permits, licenses, or other instruments of permission required prior to the installation of the proposed project or practice. Practices may be adopted to provide assistance with costs of construction or costs to modify a project so that small dams are exempt from the requirements of obtaining a permit, license or other permission required by federal, state or local laws, ordinances and rules and regulations. Additionally, practices may be adopted to provide assistance with costs to physically modify a project so that it becomes in compliance with applicable state law, or is decommissioned, removed, abandoned or breached.
