Rules Governing Administration and Establishing of

Preserves. For the purposes of this Chapter, the Department shall adopt rules governing the administration of agricultural preserves, including procedures for initiating, filing and processing requests to establish agricultural preserves. Such rules shall be applied uniformly throughout the preserve, shall enumerate those uses which are to be considered to be compatible uses, and may require the payment of a reasonable application fee. The same procedure that is required to establish an agricultural preserve shall be used to disestablish or to enlarge or diminish the size of an agricultural preserve.
