Minn. R. agency 183, ch. 8400, EASEMENT PROGRAM, pt. 8400.3600 - RENEWAL AND EXTENSION OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
A. When a conservation easement of limited
duration expires, a new conservation agreement and conservation easement for an
additional period of not less than 20 years may be acquired by agreement of the
state board and the landowner under the rules in force at that time. The state
board may adjust payment rates as a result of renewing a conservation agreement
and conservation easement after examining the condition of the established
cover, conservation practices, and land values.
B. The easement duration may be lengthened
through mutual agreement of the current landowner with the state board, in
consultation with the commissioners of agriculture and natural resources, if
the state board determines that the changes are consistent with the purpose of
the conservation easement program. When converting limited duration easements
to permanent easements, the payment is the difference between the amount that
would be paid per acre for the permanent easement as established for the most
recent sign-up period and the amount already paid for the limited duration
easement on the area.
