Accumulated vegetation should be physically <br />removed periodically and should not be treated chemically. <br />Chemigation Infrastructure This practice includes equipment (i.e. pumps storage <br />tanks, etc.) that can be used to facilitate the application of fertilizers and other <br />appropriate chemicals through a microirngation system. Chemigation can be used <br />to improve water quality by minimizing the loss of fertilizer and pesticides during <br />storm events. Drip emitter microirrigation systems are not eligible for <br />reimbursement under this category. <br />Conversion to Flashboard Riser Water Control Structure Flashboard risers are <br />used to facilitate water table control in citrus groves. As secondary benefits, <br />flashboard risers also improve sediment control and water quality. Cost share is <br />Revised 03121/02 4 <br />
