 1  Management District.

 2         (15)  It is the intent of the Legislature that in

 3  developing the list of projects for funding pursuant to

 4  paragraph (3)(a), that these funds not be used to abrogate the

 5  financial responsibility of those point and nonpoint sources

 6  that have contributed to the degradation of water or land

 7  areas.  Therefore an increased priority shall be given by the

 8  Acquisition and Restoration Commission to those projects that

 9  have secured a cost-sharing agreement allocating

10  responsibility for the cleanup of point and nonpoint sources.
