(1) All funds, supplies, and services released to counties and districts hereunder shall be used in accordance with the detailed work plan and certified budget approved by both the department and the county or district. The plan and budget may be amended at any time upon prior approval of the department.

Source reduction measures may include measures to improve management and enhance the ecological integrity of source reduction areas.
