Austin - The Independent
Cattlemen's Association of Texas is
warning cattle raisers to pay close
attention to the fine print when sign-
ing new easement contracts with
rural electric cooperatives. Jim Sel-
man, ICA First Vice President, notes
that many new contracts contain
clauses or sections that could infre-
inge on private property rights.
These new provisions are in re-
sponse to requests from federal offi-
cials who have enlisted the aid of
electric coops to gather archeologi-
cal, historical and biological infor-
mation (particularly relating to en-
dangered species). The coops are in a
unique position to gather this data
because their utility infrastructure
covers a large portion of rural Texas,
and because they have gained the
trust of ranchers and farmers who
rightly view the coops as being his-
torically pro-agriculture.
Selman encourages his colleagues
in the cattle and ranching business to
protect themselves by reading pro-
posed easement contracts carefully
and cautiously, paying particularly
close attention to any language that
goes beyond the normal rights asso-
ciated with electric construction or
conveyance.
"Based on their good reputation,
people won't look too hard at rural
coop contracts," Selman says. "But
the coops are being pressured to in-
fringe on private property rights, and
rural people need to alert themselves
and look out for their own interests."
Billy Bob Low is an ICA board
member who ranches near Gonzales.
His family was asked to sign an ease-
ment contract to facilitate relocation
of some power lines. The proposed
contract contained a section that gave
the electric coop the right to conduct
"archaeological, historical, environ-
mental or other studies" on the prop-
erty covered by the easement. In
addition,Low was concerned about a
provision that authorized the coop to
clear brush or other unwanted vege-
tation with chemical herbicides.
Low was worried that the blanket
authorization for environmental, his-
torical or archaeological studies
could dramatically affect his prop-
erty rights in the future, particularly
if a significiant cultural find was
made on his land or an endangered
species habitat was discovered.
Similarly, Low was apprehensive
about the possible negative impact
on his cattle and land from the coop's
unrestricted use of chemical herbi-
cides within the easement area.
After expressing his strong objec-
tions to these provisions, the coop
agreed to remove them from the
contract and the easement was
granted without any infringement on
Low's property rights.
”1 told them I wouldn't sign the
contract with those provisions," Low
says, "and the coop took them out
immediately without agrument or
fuss."
ICA supports a strong and healthy
working relationship between elec-
tric cooperatives, which have done
much to improve the quality of life in
rural Texas, and the thousands of
Texans who make their living
through ranching and farming.
However, ICA urges rural property
owners to be wary of new easement
contracts that contain potentially
harmful sections and encourages its
members to work with the co-ops to
renegotiate the contracts so their
rights are protected.
"We just need to pay attention the
the fine print," Low says.
