What US Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 USC ch 3B): Soil Erosion Control and Conservation Payments requires
The Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. ch. 3B, sections 590a to 590q-3) authorizes the federal soil and water conservation program of the United States, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture principally through the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Section 590a authorizes the Secretary to conduct surveys and investigations, to carry out preventive measures including engineering operations and changes in land use, to cooperate with other agencies, and to acquire lands for the control of soil erosion. Section 590b identifies the lands on which preventive measures may be taken, including United States lands and other lands with the consent of the owner. Section 590c sets the conditions under which the benefits of the law are extended to lands not owned or controlled by the United States, allowing the Secretary to require restrictions, covenants, contributions, and conservation planning, with conservation planning fees that may not exceed 150 dollars per conservation plan. Section 590g declares the additional policy of preserving soil and water resources, preventing pollution, protecting rivers and harbors, and maintaining the agricultural supply, while section 590h authorizes payments, grants of aid, and technical assistance, including through state and county committees. Section 590o authorizes appropriations not exceeding 500,000,000 dollars per fiscal year. The Act is a foundational United States conservation statute.
