The conservation easement in place prohibits other buildings or permanent residential structures from being built. Electricity is run to the pivot base and power is supplied by XCel Energy. Five hunting blinds were originally set up around the pond to handle any wind direction and variable spreads of decoys. The pond in roughly knee-height deep so managing decoy spreads is easy.
