The district may establish any cost-share rates for eligible projects and practices up to 75% of average unit cost. However, except as provided in Chapter 2, Section 001, Subsection 001.03, no payment shall exceed 75% of the actual cost of the project or practice installed or applied. Participating districts shall notify the Department by February 1 of each year of the cost-share rates to be utilized for reimbursement purposes during the next ensuing year. In the event that average unit costs are not established in accordance with Chapter 5, Section 002, or that average unit costs which are available are determined by the Commission to be unreliable because of the site-specific nature of the costs of a certain type of project or practice, the cost-share rate in effect will be applied to actual cost and average cost will not be utilized and need not be calculated on individual applications.
