Common use of Handling Violations Clause in Contracts

Handling Violations. (1) When a violation of the easement or a CUA is confirmed, the landowner must be given reasonable notice and an opportunity to correct the violation voluntarily within 30 days of the date of the notice, or such additional time as the State Conservationist may allow. Depending on the severity of the violation, this initial notification may be in writing or may be made verbally by the local NRCS representative and documented to the file. For example, upon finding unauthorized cattle on the easement, the NRCS representative may verbally tell the landowner to remove the cattle within 24 hours. A follow-up site visit must be conducted the next day to determine if the violation has been cured, and the results must be carefully documented.
