               CHAPTER 42--EMERGENCY CONSERVATION PROGRAM
 
Sec. 2201. Payments to agricultural producers for carrying out 
        wind erosion control or rehabilitation measures; criteria
        
    The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make payments to 
agricultural producers who carry out emergency measures to control wind 
erosion on farmlands or to rehabilitate farmlands damaged by wind 
erosion, floods, hurricanes, or other natural disasters when, as a 
result of the foregoing, new conservation problems have been created 
that (1) if not treated, will impair or endanger the land, (2) 
materially affect the productive capacity of the land, (3) represent 
damage that is unusual in character and, except for wind erosion, is not 
the type that would recur frequently in the same area, and (4) will be 
so costly to rehabilitate that Federal assistance is or will be required 
to return the land to productive agricultural use.
