Cooperating owner
Environmental Conservation (ENV) CHAPTER 43-B, ARTICLE 9, TITLE 7
§ 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.
