Program Guidance for the 2008 New Jersey Environmental Quality Incentives
Program (EQIP)
Agricultural producers and eligible land owners or land managers may apply
for conservation practices that:
- are included in an approved Conservation Plan; and
- will achieve a positive environmental benefit; and
- are listed in this 2008 Program Guidance.
If an application is approved based on available funding, NRCS will
develop a draft contract listing the payments to be made upon successful
practice completion. Applicants will have ample opportunity to review
the proposed payments prior to contract signature. No practices can be
installed until the final contract is approved by NRCS, unless a waiver
is granted by the State Conservationist.
Although based on the average cost to implement typical conservation
practices in NJ, practice payments are made regardless of actual cost to
the contract holder.
Each installed practice must meet the minimum design requirements in
the applicable NRCS Conservation Practice Standard in order to receive
the contract payment.
The payment will be based on the extent (amount) of the conservation
practice actually performed, not the cost.
To apply, applicants must complete a program application and the
Conservation Planning Worksheet available
below. Applicants
must also meet all applicable Highly Erodible Land and Adjusted Gross
Income provisions, and establish or update all farm and persons records
before NRCS will process their application. Details can be found in the
Applying for Federal Farm Conservation Programs available
below.
Beginning Farmers and
Limited Resource Producers installing
structural practices are eligible for a higher payment contribution by
NRCS toward the completion of the practices. These applicants may be
subject to a review of their qualifying documents prior to contract
approval.
Current payment rates are found in the Schedule of Program Payments
on the NJ Conservation Programs web page.
Information about conservation practices can be found in the electronic
Field Office Technical Guide or on practice
job sheets available through your local NRCS office/USDA Service Center.

Eligible applications will be grouped into “funding pools”, with the
highest ranked applications in each pool selected for contract
development. There will be five funding pools for 2008: Cropland (no
livestock); Beef & Dairy operations; Other Livestock operations;
Aquaculture operations; and Beginning Farmers (BF) and Limited Resource
Producers (LRP). A minimum of 10% of available funds will be provided to
the BF & LRP pool.
In addition to meeting the quality standards in each Conservation
Practice Technical Standard, the following guidelines are used to
determine whether practices are eligible for program payments. Practices
are listed by the resource area. Conservation practices eligible for payment assistance under the NJ
program in 2008 are listed alphabetically under the
following resource areas:
Program payments are
made according to the practice schedule in the Conservation Contract and
are based on the extent of the practice performed. For practices marked
“MGT”, three consecutive years of the practice will be scheduled in
consultation with the contract holder, as long as the contract meets all
other policy requirements.
Program payments for these management practices (marked “MGT”) will
be made for each year the practice meets NRCS standards. If the practice
does not meet standards, no payment will be made; and the payment will
not be re-scheduled unless the contract holder provides a written
justification to the State Conservationist for approval. If two or more
years of the practice are forfeited due to non-compliance, the contract
will be in violation and liquidated damages may be sought.
Additionally, for Irrigation Water Management and Prescribed Grazing:
The first year of the MGT
payment will be scheduled for the year after all on-the-ground
components required to carry out the practice are scheduled to be
installed. This includes all irrigation appurtenances and all fencing
