Survey Requirements and Resources
The survey is part of the first suite of Easement Identification Items.
It is accompanied by the preliminary title opinion and title commitment. These items together will identify the conservation easement boundary, any needed easements, right of ways or boundaries as well as identify Farmstead Building Envelopes. The survey also ensures the acreage and identifies the legal access to the easement area.
The survey checklist below will identify the requirements for NCDA&CS.

GIS Shapefile Notes:
A zipped folder of a GIS shapefile that clearly identifies the boundaries of the conservation easement must be submitted for each conservation easement. Additionally, all Farmstead Building Envelopes must be included as polygons within the conservation easement's shapefile and labeled by use within the attribute table. The conservation easement polygon and any Farmstead Building Envelope polygons will exist in a single shapefile. Store this shapefile within a zipped folder.
