Do I have to allow public access to my private property (or that of a sub-grantee) if match or Section 319(h) Grant Program funds have been used for BMP implementation on it?
No, the receipt of Section 319(h) Grant Program funds does not entitle the general public access to your property. Landowners do need to allow Grant Recipients (or their representative) access to the property for best management practice (BMP) site inspections. A reasonable attempt will be made to notify the landowner about the visit prior to any site inspection.
