AGRICULTURAL LAND EASEMENT PLAN. A. ENTITY acknowledges that if the Parcel contains highly erodible cropland, a highly erodible land (HEL) conservation plan that meets the requirements of 7 CFR Part 12 must be developed by NRCS or an NRCS-certified planner, approved by NRCS prior to closing, and provided to ENTITY and landowner. The HEL conservation plan must be identified on Form NRCS-CPA-1266-BPS, or modification thereto on Form NRCS-CPA-1267-BPS and may comprise the entirety of the agricultural land easement plan.
AGRICULTURAL LAND EASEMENT PLAN. As required by 16 U.S.C. Section 3865a, agricultural production and related uses of the Protected Property are subject to an ALE Plan, as approved NRCS, to promote the long-term viability of the land to meet the ALE purposes. The ALE Plan must also be approved by the Grantor and the Grantee. Xxxxxxx agrees the use of the property will be subject to the ALE Plan on the Protected Property. The ALE Plan is incorporated by reference and must not include any provisions inconsistent with the conservation purposes of this ALE. The Grantee and Grantor agree to update the Plan in the event the agricultural uses of the Protected Property change. A copy of the current ALE Plan is kept on file with the Grantee. The Grantee must take all reasonable steps to secure compliance with the ALE Plan. In the event of substantial or ongoing noncompliance with the ALE Plan or the requirement to update the Plan, NRCS may notify the Grantee. NRCS will give the Grantee and Grantor a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 180 days, to take corrective action. If Grantee fails to enforce the terms of the ALE, including, but not limited to compliance with the ALE Plan, the United States may exercise its right of enforcement.
