“On-going continuous monitoring and intervention if appropriate.”

“The organization holds conservation easements which permanently restrict use of land. These easements are a set of specific property rights monitored by the organization. The organization does not take ownership of the related property nor is the easement value considered a financial asset of the organization. Donor contribution easement values provided to the organization during 2015 and 2014 were 1,863,258 and 1,273,500, respectively. A total of 50,858,955 and 48,995,697 of donor easement values were maintained by the organization as of december 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 2015 modification activity: modified hoover 0.361 acres of the easement on property at lower valley pike, released when the county exercised use of the existing right-of-way to widen the road to improve public safety. The clark county engineer undertook a traffic study in 2009 documenting the need to widen the road in order to reduce the rate of accidents occurring on this road segment. Between 2006-2009, there were a total of 32 crashes within 250ft of three intersections on lower valley pike. The intersection of gerlaugh and lower valley had 8 crashes, spangler/lower valley had 16, and union/lower valley had 8. Most crashes were at an angle, although 1 gerlough crash was head on. One crash was fatal and 11 resulted in injury. The total relative severity of the three locations was 123,182, raking 1, 11, and 13 out of 39. The hazard index rank placed the three locations at 4, 16, and 17 (still out of 39). The conrads, current owners of the land under easement with tlt, also noted an accident prior to 2006, which resulted in 2 people dying in their front yard. This was extremely traumatic for the neighbors who came upon the scene and the conrads are very concerned about safety on the road. After conferring with the engineer's office, the landowners, the clark county soil and water conservation district, and the tlt board, it was determined that the release was needed to improve public health and safety. It is not foreseen that the release will result in significant diminutions of conservation values on this 74.46 acre property. The releases area was in existing right-of-way and provided neither natural habitat nor ground for cultivation. The board acted to approve the release at its regular board meeting january 26, 2015.”
