We have 5 acres along a state highway, no waterways, ponds, etc. But we have livestock, a shooting berm, and every time I stick a shovel in the ground I find old scrap metal. I am concerned they would find something that would require correcting. FWIW, our entire ditch area is well-mowed up through and across to our fenceline.
Obviously, answer is 'no', but what are they really looking for? Pictures incoming of notice/request. |

They are doing the cultural resources survey to look for Native American artifacts. If they find anything, it means that they can not move through with the project in that area. We have to do this for any new pipeline project.
Sounds like the state is going to widen the highway/ROW and it might encroach on your property. |

If they find something in the ground they don't like they can very well make you clean it up and it won't be cheap when following their rules. |

They just want a blanket easement to do anything from looking at plants to operate a boring rig from now until the end of time.
What's the big deal? |

Well we just received a certified letter that they are now doing it under court order. Apparently it isn't just the ditch and they are allowed to drill within 50 ft of buildings?
 I'll post the letter once my wife gets home with it.

What I have learned from working with government agencies is that you rarely can stop the train... but if you do everything in your power to slow its progress, the train sometimes goes in a different direction. I would continue to make their job as difficult as reasonably possible. What that looks like will be different in each situation.

They will present to you the court order with specific plats of your land detailed by location that they want to search. Make sure you read the court order thoroughly and the plat locations they want to search. If you have bio security measures set up for your livestock, make sure they follow your protocol. May that be masks, gloves, booties whatever. If you want to read through PLATTING — DIVISION AND SUBDIVISION OF LAND, §354.2 CHAPTER 354 It somewhat breaks down what they can and can't do. Specifically 354.4A Entry upon land for survey purposes.  |
