| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 5 | 1.INTRODUCTION BOOTHBAY REGION LAND TRUST (HEREINAFTER THE LAND TRUST) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING ALL OF ITS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THROUGH THE IDENTIFICATION AND RECTIFICATION OF VIOLATIONS. THE LAND TRUST INTENDS THAT THIS CONSERVATION EASEMENT ENFORCEMENT POLICY SHOULD CONFORM TO ALL REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, THE "LAND TRUST ALLIANCE STANDARDS AND PRACTICES- AND SHOULD BE SO INTERPRETED. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO MEMORIALIZE THE LAND TRUST'S POLICIES FOR EASEMENT VIOLATIONS AND TO PROVIDE A GUIDE FOR THE LAND TRUST'S POLICIES. THE LONG-TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IN PROTECTING VALUABLE LANDS DEPENDS ON THE EASEMENT HOLDER'S ABILITY TO ENFORCE THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT. STRONG ENFORCEMENT BUILDS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN EASEMENTS AS A LAND PROTECTION TOOL. MOREOVER, IN ORDER TO ACCEPT TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS AND TO QUALIFY FOR TAX EXEMPT STATUS, THE TREASURY REGULATIONS RELIED UPON BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE REQUIRE THAT EASEMENT-ACCEPTING ORGANIZATIONS COMMIT TO UPHOLDING THE TERMS OF AN EASEMENT AND TO MAINTAIN THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITY TO ENFORCE THE RESTRICTIONS. (SEE TREAS. REG. 1.170A-14 (C)(1).) REGULAR COMMUNICATION AND PROPERTY MONITORING TOGETHER RESULT IN VIOLATIONS BEING FOUND AND CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER. EACH EASEMENT VIOLATION REPRESENTS A UNIQUE SITUATION AND REQUIRES A TAILORED APPROACH WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF CORRECTING THE VIOLATION WITH THE GREATEST DEGREE OF COOPERATION AND THE LEAST EXPENSE TO THE LANDOWNER AND THE LAND TRUST. THE FOLLOWING ARE GUIDELINES TO BE USED TO HELP ASSURE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS ARE TAKEN TO DOCUMENT THE VIOLATION AND TO NOTIFY THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THE VIOLATION AS WELL AS TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. 2.OVERALL OBJECTIVES AND GUIDANCE FOR VIOLATION RESPONSE AND ENFORCEMENT A.MAINTAIN THE CONSERVATION PURPOSE(S) OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. B.MAINTAIN PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE LAND TRUST'S ABILITY TO ENFORCE EASEMENT RESTRICTIONS GENERALLY, IN PART AS A DETERRENT TO OTHER POTENTIAL VIOLATORS. C.PROTECT THE LAND TRUST'S LEGAL RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT (IF ANY) IN THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. D.MAINTAIN THE LAND TRUST'S LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE EASEMENTS, SINCE DELAYED ENFORCEMENT ACTION COULD JEOPARDIZE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE PARTICULAR PROVISIONS. E.MAINTAIN THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP POSSIBLE WITH THE LANDOWNER. F.NO ONE PERSON SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS ON WHETHER A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED OR WHAT THE LAND TRUST'S RESPONSE MIGHT BE. G.MAINTAIN PROFESSIONALISM AND INTEGRITY. H.WHERE CONSISTENT WITH THE FOREGOING OBJECTIVES, BALANCE THE HARM CAUSED BY THE VIOLATION WITH THE COST/BENEFIT OF THE SELECTED ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE. I.USE LITIGATION ONLY AS A LAST RESORT AND ONLY WHEN THERE IS A MERITORIOUS LEGAL BASIS FOR JUDICIAL ACTION. J.MAINTAIN CONSISTENT RESPONSES TO SIMILAR CONSERVATION EASEMENT VIOLATIONS. 3.VIOLATION PREVENTION STRATEGIES A.MAINTAIN GOOD LANDOWNER RELATIONS THROUGH REGULAR COMMUNICATION. B.STAFF SHALL CONDUCT ANNUAL MONITORING AND WHERE POSSIBLE INVOLVE THE EASEMENT PROPERTY LANDOWNER IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN OPEN AND POSITIVE COMMUNICATION. A CONTEMPORANEOUS WRITTEN MONITORING REPORT SHALL BE DRAFTED. C.THE LAND TRUST SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP INFORMED WHEN PROPERTIES CHANGE HANDS. D.PROMPTLY CONTACT NEW OWNERS (AND WORK WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS) TO ENSURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY AND THE CONCEPT AND PURPOSE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IN GENERAL AS WELL AS THE LAND TRUST'S MISSION. E.WORK TO ENSURE CAREFUL DRAFTING OF CONSERVATION EASEMENT DOCUMENTS. EASEMENT DEEDS SHOULD INCLUDE PROVISIONS SETTING FORTH THE GRANTEE'S RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM THE LANDOWNERS THE COSTS, INCLUDING LEGAL EXPENSES INCURRED IN ENFORCING THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT AGREEMENT IN CASE OF VIOLATION BY THE LANDOWNER. F.CONSIDER ENCOURAGING EASEMENT LANDOWNERS TO ASK THE LAND TRUST FOR AN ADVANCE REVIEW OF PROPOSED ACTIONS TO DETERMINE WHETHER PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT IN ORDER TO AVOID A POTENTIAL VIOLATION. 4.STEPS TO TAKE IN THE EVENT OF A POSSIBLE VIOLATION POSSIBLE EASEMENT VIOLATIONS MAY BE DISCOVERED IN THE COURSE OF ANNUAL MONITORING INSPECTIONS, OR REPORTED BY THE LANDOWNERS, NEIGHBORS OR THIRD PARTIES. STEPS TO BE TAKEN BY THE LAND TRUST IN THE CASE OF A POTENTIAL OR SUSPECTED VIOLATION SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: REVIEW THE EASEMENT TERMS: REVIEW THE EASEMENT DOCUMENTATION, BASELINE DATA AND MONITORING REPORTS TO DETERMINE IF AN EASEMENT VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED, ITS EXACT NATURE, AND WHEN IT TOOK PLACE. DOCUMENT THE VIOLATION: VISIT THE SITE TO INSPECT AND DOCUMENT THE VIOLATION BY DESCRIBING IN DETAIL BY LOCATION AND EXTENT OF THE POTENTIAL VIOLATION. PHOTOGRAPHS OF AND QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS OF THE VIOLATION SHOULD BE NOTED AS APPROPRIATE. FIELD NOTES AND PHOTOGRAPHS SHOULD BE SIGNED AND DATED BY THE PERSON CONDUCTING THE INSPECTION. THE NOTES SHOULD PROVIDE EXPLICIT COMPARISON WITH THE BASELINE DATA AND SHOULD BE WRITTEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY INDIVIDUALS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY. CONTACT THE LANDOWNER: MEET WITH THE LANDOWNER IN PERSON IF POSSIBLE TO DISCUSS THE VIOLATION. EXPLAIN THE NECESSITY OF THE LAND TRUST'S INSISTENCE ON CORRECTION OF THE VIOLATION, AS DISCUSSED IN THE INTRODUCTION ABOVE. LISTEN TO THE LANDOWNER'S EXPLANATION, TAKE NOTES AND ASK THE LANDOWNER TO VOLUNTARILY CORRECT THE VIOLATION OR TO DISCONTINUE WORK ON A VIOLATION IN PROCESS UNTIL THE MATTER CAN BE REVIEWED BY THE LAND TRUST'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. DOCUMENT ALL MEETINGS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH LANDOWNER AND EXPLAIN THAT A CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT LETTER WILL BE FORTHCOMING MEMORIALIZING THE CONVERSATIONS AND AGREEMENTS MADE ABOUT THE RESTORATION OF THE PROPERTY AND COMPLIANCE TIMETABLE. IF THE LANDOWNER AGREES TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY: IF THE LANDOWNER AGREES TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY, THE LAND TRUST SHOULD SEND THE LETTER DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE REFLECTING THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE RESTORATION WORK AND THE AGREED UPON TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION. THE SITE SHOULD BE REVISITED AND THE RESTORATION WORK SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND WRITTEN DESCRIPTION UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE WORK. IF THE LANDOWNER REFUSES TO VOLUNTARILY RESTORE THE PROPERTY: IF THE LANDOWNER REFUSES TO VOLUNTARILY RESTORE THE PROPERTY, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LANDS COMMITTEE AND WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF LEGAL COUNSEL SHALL DETERMINE AN ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY TO BE PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. INVOLVEMENT OF LEGAL COUNSEL: SINCE EACH CASE IS DIFFERENT, THE TIMING OF THE FORMAL INVOLVEMENT OF LEGAL COUNSEL MAY VARY. HOWEVER, LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD BE KEPT INFORMED AT ALL STAGES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SUGGESTIONS AND ALSO SO THAT IF THE VIOLATION SHOULD ESCALATE, COUNSEL WILL BE AWARE OF WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED AND WILL BE FULLY INFORMED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE ADVICE. 5.ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AND POTENTIAL VIOLATION REMEDIES THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AVAILABLE TO THE LAND TRUST TO WORK TOWARD A VIOLATION REMEDY. ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES INCLUDE: EDUCATION, MEDIATION, REMEDIATION, MITIGATION PAYMENTS, INJUNCTIONS, NO TRESPASS SERVICE, LITIGATION AND CRIMINAL CHARGES. 6.THIRD PARTY VIOLATIONS THE LAND TRUST VIEWS ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OWNERS OF CONSERVED LAND AS A PARTNERSHIP. THIS RELATIONSHIP IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT WE SHARE A COMMON INTEREST IN GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE CONSERVED LAND. WHEN THIRD PERSONS TRESPASS ON CONSERVED LAND AND DAMAGE THE RESOURCES THAT BOTH THE OWNER AND THE LAND TRUST HAVE CONSERVED, THEN THE LAND TRUST SHOULD SEEK TO ENGAGE THE COOPERATION OF THE OWNER IN WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO STOP THE TRESPASS AND HAVE THE TRESPASSER FIX ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. THE LAND TRUST REVIEWS EACH THIRD PARTY VIOLATION OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS WHEN DECIDING WHAT EDUCATION MEASUREMENTS AND REMEDIES ARE NECESSARY. IF THE TRESPASSER IS UNWILLING TO COOPERATE WITH THE OWNER AND THE LAND TRUST, THEN THE LAND TRUST MAY HAVE TO EXPLORE JUDICIAL REMEDIES FOR THE SITUATION. |
| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 9 | CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ACCEPTED OR PURCHASED BY BOOTHBAY REGION LAND TRUST ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS OR REVENUES IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BECAUSE THE BOOTHBAY REGION LAND TRUST DOES NOT HAVE FEE TITLE TO THE PROPERTIES AND THERE ARE NO EXPECTED FUTURE ECONOMIC BENEFITS. IF PURCHASED, THE COSTS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE EXPENSED WHEN THE EASEMENTS ARE ACQUIRED. |
| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 2, PART V, LINE 4 | THE OBJECTIVE OF THE BRLT ENDOWMENT FUND SHALL BE TO FUND A PORTION OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET, TO ACQUIRE LAND, AND TO HELP FUND MAJOR STEWARDSHIP PROJECTS. |
| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X | BRLT IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C) (3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. IN ADDITION, BRLT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE NOT TO BE A "PRIVATE FOUNDATION" WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 509(A) OF THE CODE. MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED BRLT'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT BRLT HAD TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BRLT IS CURRENTLY OPEN TO AUDIT UNDER THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR THREE YEARS FOLLOWING THE FILING OF THE RETURN. |
