As signatory to this application, I understand that the Resource Conservation District (RCD) must
demonstrate that cost-share funded projects have resulted in quantifiable reductions in water and
energy use. Therefore, upon request, I agree to provide the RCD the records needed to establish
pre- and post-project agricultural water, fuel, and/or electricity use. I am aware that failure to
accept or comply with this requirement will constitute grounds for the RCD to reject this application
or withdraw cost-share funding. □
I am also aware that the RCD must certify cost-share funded projects as complete. Therefore, I agree
to schedule a re-evaluation with the RCD immediately following project completion. I understand
that this re-evaluation will incur a fee of up to $995 which I am responsible for paying prior to
reimbursement. □
