N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law § 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.
