Subject: RE: East Buffalo Conservation Easement Review - USACE ID # SAW-2019-01296
Good evening Andrea/Jake,
Below are the questions/corrections regarding the real estate review for the East Buffalo Mitigation Site:
1. Survey Plat - Although a PJD is not to the same as an AJD and the plat does not have to be exactly the
same as the PJD, the survey should reflect the information relevant to the purpose of the CE. The survey
boundaries seem consistent with the PJD, but the potential streams seem very inconsistent (missing,
shortened or in the wrong place) and no wetlands were shown within the project boundaries. Since the CE
property is to be retained in its natural state, it seems the survey plat should more accurately reflect the
potential jurisdictional features as documented by the PJD. If this is inconsistent with previous banks or you
feel it is in error then contact me to discuss further.
2. Utility line - Since the utility line is being relocated but remaining within the CE, clarification is needed as
to the process and documentation for the final plat and CE. Will the relocation occur before or after the CE is
signed? Provide a brief description. If the relocation will occur after the CE is signed, specify that the
construction involved in the relocation of the lines is not prohibited by stating it as an exception in II.B.
Construction. If known where the line is to be relocated, that could be identified on the plat, if not, approval
would have to be received before you could start turning dirt. An amended plat could be recorded after that.
The exception can be worded accordingly.

Conservation Easement -
a. There were several former project references or other corrections needed within the draft CE.
Provide a red lined copy of the CE and ensure that all needed corrections have been found. There is an
attached CE with USACE tracked comments for the ones indentified.
b. The map depicted in Exhibit A seems to be the county property map ... will the survey plat be filed as
an attachment to the CE itself or recorded separately and incorporated by reference?
C. The recombination tract only deals with the 2 acre tract and appears to be excluded on page 2 of the
plat (assuming it will go to the adjacent landowner). The 14 acre tract is identified on page 3, is it to remain a
stand-alone parcel? Ensure they are not in the legal description of the CE. The county property map (Exhibit A)
includes both those parcels, will it be updated with the final version?
d. Make sure that all closed roads are identified to the extent that they are known.
There were no other issues with the title. Feel free to contact me to discuss any of these items in further
detail.

RE: Response to USACE Conservation Easement Review Comments
East Buffalo Mitigation Site, Graham County
Little Tennessee River Basin HUC 06010204
USACE Action ID No. SAW-2019-01296
NC DWR No. 20191132
Dear Mr. Kichefski:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the USACE June 30, 2020 comments from the Little
Tennessee Umbrella Mitigation Bank - East Buffalo Mitigation Site easement package submitted March
3, 2020. The following responses to USACE comments (in italics) are noted below.
Survey Plat — Although a PJD is not to the same as an AJD and the plat does not have to be
exactly the same as the PJD, the survey should reflect the information relevant to the purpose of
the CE. The survey boundaries seem consistent with the PJD, but the potential streams seem
very inconsistent (missing, shortened or in the wrong place) and no wetlands were shown within
the project boundaries. Since the CE property is to be retained in its natural state, it seems the
survey plat should more accurately reflect the potential jurisdictional features as documented
by the PJD. If this is inconsistent with previous banks or you feel it is in error, then contact me to
discuss further.
The existing streams and wetlands, as documented in the PJD, have been added to the plat.
Utility line — Since the utility line is being relocated but remaining within the CE, clarification is
needed as to the process and documentation for the final plat and CE. Will the relocation occur
before or after the CE is signed? Provide a brief description. If the relocation will occur after the
CE is signed, specify that the construction involved in the relocation of the lines is not prohibited
by stating it as an exception in II.B. Construction. If known where the line is to be relocated,
that could be identified on the plat, if not, approval would have to be received before you could
start turning dirt. An amended plat could be recorded after that. The exception can be worded
accordingly.
The utility line is scheduled to be moved to the location shown in the Mitigation Plan and
surveyed by September 30, 2020. The new alignment will be added to the final plat prior to
recording.

3. Conservation Easement —
a. There were several former project references or other corrections needed within the
draft CE. Provide a red lined copy of the CE and ensure that all needed corrections have
been found. There is an attached CE with USACE tracked comments for the ones
identified.
All corrections have been incorporated into the final conservation easement document.
Attached is a redlined version showing the changes.
The map depicted in Exhibit A seems to be the county property map ... will the survey
plat be filed as an attachment to the CE itself or recorded separately and incorporated
by reference?
Exhibit A does reference the entire property. Exhibit B describes the conservation
easement boundary. Exhibit B will include both the metes and bounds description as
well as reference to the recorded plat showing the easement boundary.
The recombination tract only deals with the 2-acre tract and appears to be excluded on
page 2 of the plat (assuming it will go to the adjacent landowner). The 14-acre tract is
identified on page 3, is it to remain a stand-alone parcel? Ensure they are not in the
legal description of the CE. The county property map (Exhibit A) includes both those
parcels, will it be updated with the final version?
Correct, the 14-acre area will stay part of the parcel, but not be included in the
conservation easement area. This will be documented in Exhibit B of the easement
through both the legal description and the recorded plat.
Make sure that all closed roads are identified to the extent that they are known.
The closed roads located and shown in the Mitigation Plan have been added to the
updated plat.
A copy of the updated conservation easement document is attached. We will send a copy of the
final plat once the new utility line location has been added in September. Please contact me or
Jake McLean ([e-mail]) if you have any questions.

that comes to the attention of the Grantee, the Grantee shall notify the Grantor in writing
of such breach. The Grantor shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to correct the
conditions constituting such breach. If the breach remains uncured after 30 days, the
Grantee may enforce this Conservation Easement by appropriate legal proceedings
including damages, injunctive and other relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

order, injunctive or other appropriate relief if the breach of the terms of this Conservation
Easement is or would irreversibly or otherwise materially impair the benefits to be derived
from this Conservation Easement. The Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that under such
circumstances damage to the Grantee would be irreparable and remedies at law will be
inadequate. The rights and remedies of the Grantee provided hereunder shall be in

Conservation Easement Area resulting from causes beyond the Grantor's control,
including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, war, acts of God or third parties, except
Grantor's lessees or invitees; or from any prudent action taken in good faith by Grantor

under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to life,
damage to property or harm to the Conservation Easement Area resulting from such
causes.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
A. Warranty. Grantor warrants, covenants and represents that it owns the
Property in fee simple, and that Grantor either owns all interests in the Property which
may be impaired by the granting of this Conservation Easement or that there are no
outstanding mortgages, tax liens, encumbrances, or other interests in the Property which
have not been expressly subordinated to this Conservation Easement. Grantor further
warrants that Grantee shall have the use of and enjoy all the benefits derived from and
arising out of this Conservation Easement, and that Grantor will warrant and defend title
to the Property against the claims of all persons.
B. Subsequent Transfers. The Grantor agrees to incorporate the terms of this
Conservation Easement in any deed or other legal instrument that transfers any interest
in all or a portion of the Conservation Easement Area. The Grantor agrees to provide
written notice of such transfer at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of the transfer. The

merger of the fee and easement interests in the Conservation Easement Area or any
portion thereof and shall not be amended, modified or terminated without the prior
written consent and approval of the Corps.

Conservation Easement are in gross and assignable provided, however that the Grantee
hereby covenants and agrees, that in the event it transfers or assigns this Conservation
Easement, the organization receiving the interest will be a qualified holder pursuant to 33
