16 U.S.C. § 343c–1 — Exchange of lands; Mount Desert Island Regional School District

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior may give a Maine school district about 66 acres of park land. In return, the district gives the Secretary land suitable for adding to the park. If the values differ, cash makes up the difference, credited to a conservation fund.

The Secretary of the Interior may convey to the Mount Desert Island Regional School District, in Maine, a piece of Acadia National Park once owned by John D. Rockefeller, Junior. This piece is about sixty-six acres, known as lot 354. In exchange, the Secretary may accept from the school district any property the Secretary judges suitable to add to the park. The two properties' values should be about equal. If they are not, whoever's property is worth less must pay cash to make up the difference — either to the district or to the Secretary, depending on which side owes. Any cash the Secretary receives goes into the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the U.S. Treasury. Once the federally owned lot is transferred away, it is no longer part of the park.

The Secretary of the Interior may convey to the Mount Desert Island Regional School District in the State of Maine a portion of the Acadia National Park, formerly owned by John D. Rockefeller, Junior, comprising approximately sixty-six acres (lot 354), and in exchange therefor the Secretary may accept from said school district any property which in his judgment is suitable for addition to the park. The values of the properties so exchanged either shall be approximately equal, or if they are not approximately equal the values shall be equalized by the payment of cash to the grantor or to the Secretary as the circumstances require. Any cash payment received by the Secretary shall be credited to the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the Treasury of the United States. A conveyance of the federally owned lot shall eliminate it from the park.
