SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 5

MONMOUTH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION (MCF) IS DEDICATED TO UPHOLDING ITS LEGAL AND COMMUNITY OBLIGATIONS TO STEWARD, IN PERPETUITY, EASEMENTS IT ACCEPTS OR ACQUIRES IN PERPETUITY AS PART OF ITS MISSION TO PRESERVE LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. MCF HOLDS A VARIETY OF EASEMENTS, INCLUDING, SCENIC VIEWSHED, CONSERVATION, AGRICULTURAL, ETC. (REFERRED TO HEREIN, COLLECTIVELY, AS EASEMENTS). EACH EASEMENT IS TAILORED TO PROTECT THE PROPERTYS UNIQUE FEATURES, REFLECT THE OWNERS WISHES AND FULFILL MCFS MISSION TO PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES. MCF IS COMMITTED TO MANAGING, DEFENDING AND ENFORCING THE TERMS OF EACH EASEMENT ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. THE MCF EASEMENT MONITORING POLICY (POLICY) CONFORMS TO ALL REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, THE LAND TRUST ALLIANCE (LTA) STANDARDS AND PRACTICES, AND ALL OTHER MCF POLICIES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO MEMORIALIZE PROCEDURES FOR EASEMENT MONITORING AND GUIDE RELATED PRACTICES. THIS POLICY IS APPLICABLE AND NECESSARY FOR ALL MCF HELD EASEMENTS. MCF STAFF SHALL ADHERE TO AND IMPLEMENT THIS POLICY AND COMPLY WITH THE SPECIFIED PROCEDURES EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF EXTRAORDINARY OR UNFORESEEABLE CIRCUMSTANCES. STAFF SHALL REVISIT THIS POLICY AND ITS MANAGEMENT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE AMENDED TO REFLECT CHANGING LTA STANDARDS AND PRACTICES OR TO OTHERWISE REVISE ITS CONTENTS. THE MCF BOARD SHALL APPROVE ALL CHANGES TO THE POLICY. ANNUAL MONITORING IS CRITICAL FOR MEETING MCFS OBLIGATION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE LTA NATIONAL ACCREDITATION COMMISSION STANDARDS AND PRACTICES AND EACH EASEMENT HELD BY MCF. THE ANNUAL RECORDING OF PROPERTY CONDITIONS SUPPLEMENTS THE BASELINE DOCUMENTATION CREATED AT EASEMENT INCEPTION. ANNUAL MONITORING PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH LANDOWNERS, ENHANCE RELATIONSHIPS, AND TO INSPECT THE LAND, IMPROVEMENTS AND, LAND USE ACTIVITIES. I. FREQUENCY OF ANNUAL MONITORING - MCF MONITORS EACH OF ITS EASEMENTS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE PRIOR YEARS MONITORING VISIT, AT A MINIMUM, IN ORDER TO DETECT CHANGES, ALLOWED OR OTHERWISE, IN THE EASED PROPERTIES, TO ENSURE THAT LANDS ARE BEING USED AND CARED FOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT AND TO IDENTIFY ANY EASEMENT VIOLATIONS OR ENCROACHMENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, MONITORING MAY BE CONDUCTED MORE FREQUENTLY IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY ACTIONS THAT MAY VIOLATE THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND THUS REDUCE MCFS TIME AND EXPENSE NECESSARY TO CORRECT A VIOLATION. II. MONITORING TEAM - EASEMENT MONITORING, CONDUCTED BY MCF STAFF, PROVIDES NECESSARY CONTINUITY, BETTER EASEMENT INTERPRETATION, PROACTIVE RELATIONS WITH LANDOWNERS AND LONG-TERM ORGANIZATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY. IN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES, VOLUNTEERS OR CONTRACT MONITORS MAY ASSIST WITH MONITORING MCF EASEMENTS. MEMBERS OF MCFS EASEMENT MONITORING COMMITTEE, A SUB-COMMITTEE OF MCFS ACQUISITION COMMITTEE, CREATED TO ASSIST STAFF WITH EASEMENT MONITORING, ARE ALSO INVITED TO ATTEND ANNUAL MONITORING VISITS. III. TRAINING - PRIOR TO COMMENCING MONITORING, THE MONITORING TEAM IS INFORMED OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MONITORING PROCESS, ITS RELATION TO MCFS OVERALL EASEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND HOW TO CONDUCT THE MONITORING IN A SAFE AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER. MCF USES THE TRAINING CURRICULUM AND HANDBOOK DEVELOPED BY THE VERMONT LAND TRUST TO TRAIN ITS MONITORING TEAM. IV. ANNUAL MONITORING NOTIFICATION - ONCE A MONITORING VISIT IS ESTABLISHED, MCF NOTIFIES THE LANDOWNER WITH A TIMEFRAME FOR THE MONITORING VISIT BY LETTER, EMAIL OR PHONE. LANDOWNERS ARE INVITED TO CONTACT THE OFFICE SHOULD THEY WISH TO PARTICIPATE AND/OR TO SCHEDULE A SPECIFIC DATE AND TIME. AN EASEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE IS SHARED WITH THE LANDOWNER FOR COMPLETION PRIOR TO THE VISIT, WHICH SUPPLEMENTS THE ANNUAL EASEMENT MONITORING VISIT AND ENCOURAGES A DIALOGUE BETWEEN MCF AND LANDOWNER PRIOR TO VISIT. A COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE ENABLES MCF TO TRACK CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE OVERLOOKED AT THE TIME OF THE VISIT. THE LANDOWNER MAY USE THE QUESTIONNAIRE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THE EASEMENT AND DIRECT MCFS ATTENTION TOWARD ANY ISSUES THEY MAY BE HAVING. THE EASEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE IS ATTACHED. V. ANNUAL MONITORING PROCESS - MCF STAFF PREPARES FOR MONITORING VISITS BY FAMILIARIZING THEMSELVES WITH THE DEED OF EASEMENT, BASELINE DOCUMENTATION, PRIOR ANNUAL MONITORING REPORTS AND ANY ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION. ONCE ON THE PROPERTY, MCF STAFF VISITS AND/OR VIEWS ALL AREAS OF THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE EASEMENT IN ORDER TO DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TYPICALLY TAKEN AT EACH VISIT BUT ARE ONLY NECESSARY IF ANY CHANGES ARE OBSERVED. IF IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE THE LAST PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN, AN UPDATED SET OF PHOTOGRAPHS IS TAKEN. VI. ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT - FOLLOWING THE MONITORING VISIT, MCF STAFF CREATES A MONITORING REPORT WHICH DOCUMENTS RESULTS AND FINDINGS FROM THE VISIT. PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN DURING THE VISIT AND A MAP DEPICTING THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, IS ATTACHED IF NECESSARY. THE REPORT IS SIGNED BY MCF STAFF AND FILED ACCORDINGLY. THE TEMPLATE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT IS ATTACHED. ANY QUESTIONS THAT ARISE DURING A MONITORING VISIT OR ANY ACTIVITIES THAT ARE IDENTIFIED THAT MAY CONSTITUTE, OR LEAD TO, EASEMENT VIOLATIONS, ARE ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER. FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES ARE IMPLEMENTED TO ASSURE THAT MCF PRESERVES ITS RIGHTS TO ENFORCE AN EASEMENT IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY. ALL ACTIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN WRITING AND REPORTED TO MCFS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. ALL VIOLATIONS ARE ALSO REPORTED TO THE ACQUISITION COMMITTEE, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND/OR BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EASEMENT VIOLATION POLICY. MONITORING REPORTS AND ANY FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS ARE ARCHIVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MCFS RECORDS POLICY. VII. ANNUAL MONITORING FOLLOW-UP - TO ELIMINATE THE USE OF PAPER, THE FOUNDATION NO LONGER SENDS FOLLOW UP LETTERS AND REPORTS TO LANDOWNERS FOR ROUTINE ANNUAL MONITORING VISITS REQUESTING THEIR SIGNATURES. THE LANDOWNER HAS THE OPTION OF REQUESTING AND RECEIVING A PAPER OR ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE REPORT CREATED FROM THE VISIT. DUE TO THIS POLICY CHANGE, THE LANDOWNERS SIGNATURE IS NO LONGER NECESSARY ON THE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORTS. IF ANY ISSUES ARE IDENTIFIED DURING THE VISIT, A FOLLOW UP LETTER WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT ARE SENT TO THE LANDOWNER. THE FOREGOING MONMOUTH CONSERVATION FOUNDATION EASEMENT MONITORING POLICY WAS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT THE MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 17, 2011. REVISIONS TO THIS POLICY WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT A MEETING HELD ON MAY 9, 2019.
