The State Board of Agriculture shall institute a broad program

clean and replenish the atmosphere, to conserve soil, water and

wildlife, and to provide outdoor recreation for healthful living.

The Board shall administer silviculture best management practices in

cooperation with forestry land users under the provisions of state

and federal water pollution laws that include the process to

identify silviculturally related nonpoint sources of pollution as

defined by the Oklahoma Environmental Quality Code and, to the

extent feasible, establish procedures and methods to control these

sources.
