[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 491275, member: 605"] The US Fish and Wildlife Service is the only agency that can hold a perpetual easement. It may have been changed to 99 years. In the 60's grandpa sold to USFWS an easement. They pulled out a map and drew some circles on paper. On wet years the circle expanded. The circles on paper were never surveyed or delineated. If a farmer wants to do something today with his property, he needs to know exactly where the lines are. Asking USFWS to come out and delineate the wetland is a problem. Sometimes the wetland isn't exactly inside the circles on those old maps. Essentially 160 acres or one full quarter can get tied up in litigation for a couple two-acre duck puddles. If a farmer wants to install drain tile, he has to know "exactly" where and how far back to stay away. [/QUOTE]
