If a landowner effectively controls an infestation on the landowner’s property to the satisfaction of the state forester within the time specified upon notification, the landowner may be reimbursed an amount not to exceed the total cost of the suppression measures based on average values for each control measure as determined by the state forester. Control measures implemented by private landowners may only be reimbursed by the state forester if funds are made available for this purpose by Legislature.
