Description

This is a sample form for use in transactions involving easements, an Environmental Restriction Easement. Requires a specific property to be subject to covenants, restrictions and easements as part of an order from federal court litigation. Arkansas Environmental Restriction Easement (ERE) refers to a legally binding agreement established between a property owner and a conservation organization or the government. Through this agreement, certain land use activities on the property are restricted to protect and preserve its environmental features. Eyes aim to conserve natural resources, protect endangered species habitats, maintain water quality, and reduce the impact of human activities on the ecosystem. There are several types of Arkansas Environmental Restriction Easements, each serving specific conservation purposes: 1. Wetland Easements: These focus on protecting wetlands, which are vital ecosystems that provide valuable wildlife habitats, filter water, and prevent flooding. Wetland Eyes prohibit activities like draining, filling, or cultivating wetland areas. 2. Riparian Easements: These aim to preserve riparian areas, which are the buffer zones surrounding rivers, streams, and other bodies of water. Riparian Eyes restrict activities such as clearing vegetation, building structures, or using harmful chemicals within these zones to maintain water quality and wildlife habitats. 3. Forest Easements: These focus on conserving forests by restricting the removal of trees, preventing deforestation, and protecting wildlife habitats within the forested areas. Forest Eyes may also encourage sustainable management practices maintaining the ecological balance. 4. Farmland Easements: These Eyes are aimed at preserving farmland and agricultural resources. While allowing farming activities, these easements often prohibit actions that may cause excessive erosion, contamination of water sources, or destruction of prime agricultural soil. 5. Wildlife Habitat Easements: These Eyes aim to protect critical habitats of specific wildlife species, including endangered or threatened species. They restrict activities that could degrade the habitat, such as logging, mining, or construction. 6. Conservation Easements: These are overarching easements that encompass several conservation purposes, focusing on broader environmental protection. These easements may include restrictions on development, mining, timber harvesting, or other potentially harmful activities to safeguard the overall ecological integrity. It is important to note that the specific terms and conditions of an Arkansas Environmental Restriction Easement will vary depending on the conservation goals, the property's natural characteristics, and the parties involved. The easement agreement is typically perpetual and ensures that subsequent owners honor the easement's terms, thereby providing long-term protection for Arkansas's natural resources and wildlife.
