The GTSDA Program, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to revoke any recognition for failure to comply with program requirements or criteria.  All applicants are required to sign a statement indicating agreement to return any recognition and forfeit all benefits if it is found by the GTSDA Program Governing Council that the subject project failed to maintain the level, nature, and quality development represented in the application.  It is understood in applying for the Stewardship Development Awards that the applicant authorizes the GTSDA Program to make future periodic evaluations to ensure that project continues to meet the standards of the recognition conferred. Failure to keep a project in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental regulations or substantial change to a project relative to the elements that resulted in conferring the recognition are grounds for retraction of a recognition and associated benefits.
