Soil Conservation Districts have worked with MACS over the past year to develop average rates of payment for services and materials required for the installation of best management practices. “Flat rates are designed to be responsive to supply-demand conditions and construction constraints particular to each county,” commented Yazdanian. “They were recom mended by the field people who work with bmp design and in stallation daily.” Payments may still be made to cost-share approved projects even if the cost submitted is above the flat rate. The flat rate will represent the “ceiling” or maximum level at which the percentage of cost-share payment is figured. This ceiling is similar to existing program caps which limit allowable projects to $lO,OOO each and assistance to any one farm to $25,000. The Maryland Agricultural Cost Share Program offers up to 87% ! percent of the cost of approved best management practices which address potential agricultural nonpoint source pollution problems. Information about the program may be obtained from the MACS office, 50 Harry S. Truman Pkwy., Annapolis, Md. 21401 (841- 5864) or by contacting local con servation districts.
