Environmental covenant, easement and wellhead limits flagged as key issue
Summary
Shields warned that H2Ohio projects typically attach an environmental covenant to the deed and that covenant areas may limit future utilities or wellhead placement; the covenant is a central consideration for Enon's park planning.
Caleb Shields told committee members that an environmental covenant typically attaches to the deed of an H2Ohio wetland project and can restrict future easements or utility construction inside the covenant boundary. He said those covenants are intended to protect the wetland in perpetuity and that they would be surveyed and attached to the recorded deed.
The covenant implications prompted committee questions about wellhead placement and future land‑use flexibility. Shields said the covenant language commonly prevents granting new utility easements within covenant areas and that the town would need to locate any planned wellheads outside the surveyed covenant footprint or design the project footprint accordingly.
