01 M.R.S. § 001-401-11 - ADMINISTRATION

1. While a commercial farm continues to produce any farm product with the intent that the farm product be sold or otherwise disposed of to generate income, it can select from one of the following options:

a. DACF will issue an initial payment of 30 percent of the established baseline income plus the inflationary factor. DACF will issue subsequent payments based on documentation of actual losses; or

b. DACF will not make an upfront payment. Instead, the commercial farm will submit documentation of actual losses and DACF will make corresponding payments.

2. Where a third-party entity has made income replacement payments to a commercial farm because of PFAS contamination and DACF has an existing reimbursement agreement with that third-party entity, DACF is authorized to reimburse the third-party entity according to the same terms as if the payment was made directly to the commercial farm. The amount of the payment to the third-party entity will be counted toward the commercial farm's maximum payment.
