Common use of Sampling Frequency Clause in Contracts

Sampling Frequency. The frequency of sampling is expected to correspond with the extent of conservation measures required by the adopted acres target defined for each Partner according to their adoption rate and extent of enrolled lands. Partners reporting actual adopted acres above-and-beyond their minimum target are not required to monitor any additional points above the threshold associated with their adopted acres target. Sampling frequency is intended to provide a reasonable sample size that can characterize results of conservation measures, while also being reasonably accomplished by rights-of-way and land managers who are also tasked with overseeing the safe implementation of conservation measures and covered activities, as well as sustain operations of their infrastructure. The following recommended frequency is based on expected extent of adopted acres, as well as potential Partner feedback received during development of this agreement.
