<br />2. There shall be no activities or uses detrimental to water quality within the Easement Area
<br />and no alteration or manipulation of the natural water courses, streams, slopes, wetlands, or other
<br />water bodies by draining, filling, dredging, diking or otherwise except in accordance with
<br />generally accepted conservation procedures designed to enhance wetland and water course
<br />attributes and except as may be necessary to prevent or halt soil erosion, soil slippage, and damage
<br />from erosion.
<br />3. No roads, buildings or other structures of any kind, camping accommodations, or mobile
<br />homes, shall be hereafter erected or placed within the Easement Area except as herein described.
<br />No fences shall be hereafter erected within the Easement Area.
<br />4. There shall be no dumping of soil, trash, ashes, garbage, waste, or other unsightly or

<br />the general topography, of the on -surface or subsurface of the Easement Area in any manner
<br />except as may be required in the course of any activity permitted herein and in accordance with
<br />generally accepted conservation procedures excepting what is necessary for the maintenance of
<br />foot trails, and that caused by the forces of nature. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor shall
<br />take all reasonable legal steps to attempt to prohibit drilling for oil or gas or similar substances,
<br />and Grantor will take all reasonable legal steps to attempt to avoid the Easement Area from being

<br />6. No power lines, transmission lines, nor communications towers may be erected. Except for
<br />those already existing easements, no additional interests in the Easement Area shall be granted for
<br />such purposes. It is the intent of this provision to grant to the Grantee such an interest in the
