The deed restrictions on the eased acreage prohibit the owner from logging, building permanent structures, and traversing with vehicles outside of the existing road infrastructure. New roads cannot be created within the eased acreage boundary, and a buffer around the streams/wetlands must remain untouched other than by foot traffic. The property has both a mining and logging history, and a substantial amount of cleanup and stream restoration work has been performed. In recent years it has been utilized as a hunting club. The eased acreage is monitored and regulated by the Army Corp of Engineers.Upon sale of the property, the current owner (Ecosystem Investment Partners) will lease back (with limited rights) the acreage within the easement for the purpose of monitoring / protecting the ecosystem until all environmental credits have been paid by the State. The estimated duration of the lease is approximately ten years. During that time, the new owner can expect an annual or biannual inspection of the eased acreage to verify that the ecosystem is healthy. The inspections will be performed by an environmental consultant and coordinated with the new landowner. The landowner is not held responsible or liable for the health of the ecosystem pursuant to the lease agreement. If damage ensues to the ecosystem within the easement due to natural causes, Ecosystem Investment Partners will mobilize to fix the issue.
