"(2) identify the conservation measures to be taken, and the recreational and wildlife uses to be allowed, with respect to such real property; and "(3) require such owner to permit the Secretary, and any person or governmental entity designated by the Secretary, to have access to such real property for the purpose of monitoring compliance with such easement. "(e) Any such easement acquired by the Secretary shall be purchased from the borrower involved by canceling that part of the aggregate amount of such outstanding loans of the borrower held by the Secretary under laws administered by the Farmers Home Administration that bears the same ratio to the aggregate amount of the outstanding loans of such borrower held by the Secretary under all such laws as the number of acres of the real property of such borrower that are subject to such easement bears to the aggregate number of acres securing such loans. In no case shall the amount so cancelled exceed the value of the land on which the easement is acquired. "(f) If the Secretary elects to use the authority provided by this section, the Secretary shall consult with the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service for purposes of— "(1) selecting real property in which the Secretary may acquire easements under this section; "(2) formulating the terms and conditions of such easements; and "(3) enforcing such easements. "(g) The Secretary, and any person or governmental entity designated by the Secretary, may enforce an easement acquired by the Secretary under this section. "(h) This section shall not apply with respect to the cancellation of any part of any loan that was made after the date of enactment of the Food Security Act of 1985.". (b)(1) The last sentence of section 335(c) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1985(c)) is amended by inserting ", other than easements acquired under section 349" before the period at the end thereof. (2) The second sentence of section 1001 of the Agricultural Act of 1970 (16 U.S.C. 1501) is amended— (1) by striking out "perpetual"; and (2) by inserting "for a term of not less than 50 years" after "easements".
