9-0715 - Cooperating owner.

§ 9-0715. Cooperating owner.    A  cooperating  forest  or  farm  woodland  owner shall be an owner of  forest land within a forest region who shall agree with the commissioner  or his representative  to  comply  with  the  approved  forest  practice  standards  of  the  forest  region,  in which his land is located, for a  specified period of time which may be extended  from  time  to  time  by  mutual  consent  and  may  be  reduced  to  writing at the option of the  commissioner. The failure of such owner to comply with the provisions of  such agreement will relieve the commissioner  and  the  state  forthwith  from  the  obligation  to  render  to  any  such failing owner any state  assistance provided for in section 9-0713. The commissioner may  provide  limited  or  sample services to non-cooperating owners with such owners'  consent and without agreement.
