This document package comprises a Land Description Review Certificate, aerial property map, and Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) questionnaire related to a 240-acre land parcel designated as "Leiseth II Fee to Trust" in Roberts County, South Dakota.

The property is identified as NE1/4, NE1/4NW1/4, and NW1/4SE1/4 in Section 27, Township 124 North, Range 51 West, 5th Principal Meridian. The Land Description Review Certificate, issued by the BLM State Office in Montana on February 6, 2020, confirms the land description is acceptable with minor potential problems that do not materially affect the conveyance. The certificate notes that the source documents use "excepts" terminology for right-of-way easements rather than "subject to" language, and recommends that realty staff research prior conveyances to ensure proper title documentation and may require quit claim deeds to perfect title. The aerial map dated February 6, 2020, depicts the property boundaries and surrounding land designations within Section 27 and adjacent sections. The ESA questionnaire, completed on April 17, 2025, by BIA Realty Officer Cody Toutges, documents environmental screening responses indicating the property has been used for agricultural purposes (farming, haying, and grazing), contains no improvements, has no evidence of hazardous materials, industrial activities, mining operations, storage tanks, or environmental violations, and presents no identified environmental concerns or invasive plant species. All responses indicate no current environmental liabilities affecting the property's suitability for trust conveyance.
