(a) All activities shall be for the removal of Carrizo
cane on lands along the Rio Grande River on the border between the
State of Texas and the United Mexican States, including tributaries
and canals associated with border security priority areas. When appropriate,
methods that control other noxious species of brush may be used in
conjunction with methods that control Carrizo cane, so long as there
is a water conservation or border security benefit.
(b) No landowner is required to participate in this
program.
(c) Treatment costs financed through this program shall
be reimbursed at a 100-percent basis, unless an exception is approved
by the State Board for a cost-sharing requirement between the State
Board and another party.
