The Administrative Guidance Manual approved in March 2026 is now effective as of July 1. This document establishes the framework within which the State Conservation Commission (SCC) will exercise its administrative discretion for the DGLVR Program. SCC Program staff reserves the discretion to allow deviations from policy if circumstances warrant. Conservation Districts should contact SCC Program staff to discuss policy exemptions as needed. Visit the Program-Specific Resources’ Administrative Guidance Manual page to view the new policy.
