DESCRIPTION
Inland Empire Action Coalition used this grant to develop preliminary information necessary to create a permanent conservation easement on approximately 140 acres of riparian land near the Touchet River immediately south of Prescott, WA. The proposed easement will average approximately 300 feet on both sides of the stream for roughly 3.5 streambank miles. Proposed restrictions on the entire easement include: no buildings, structures, or roads of any kind, no timber harvest, no disturbance of the river other than for habitat projects, and the area must be kept in natural habitat condition. These restrictions will ensure the existing buffers on the site stay in place forever. In addition, farming and grazing will be prohibited on the entire easement, except for the 18.5 acres of donated farmable upland shown on the included map. The easement consists of 140 acres total, of which 22 acres will be donated (18.5 of the 22 donated acres are farmable uplands and 3.5 acres are non-farmable uplands). Project deliverables included all items necessary for an appraiser to accurately determine the value of the easement, including: site map that illustrates the location and dimensions of the easement and written description of restrictions being placed within the easement, a preliminary title report, survey, appraisal, and a review appraisal. This project is intended to benefit Mid-Columbia Chinook and steelhead.
