in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section sets aside specific tracts of land in Coos County, Oregon as public parks and camp sites, to protect its rare myrtle tree groves. Coos County's county court manages the land under rules the Secretary of the Interior sets. The county, not the federal government, must pay all costs of managing it.

This section reserves specific described tracts of land in Coos County, Oregon — formerly part of the Coos Bay military wagon road grant — as public parks and camp sites. The purpose is recreation and to preserve the area's rare groves of myrtle trees. This reservation is subject to any valid existing rights. For any of the land withdrawn for water-power purposes, the Federal Power Act still applies in full. It also does not block the previously authorized sale allowing merchantable timber to be cut and removed from one described tract (the northeast quarter of the southwest quarter, section 35, township 27 south, range 12 west). The land is placed under the care, control, and management of the county court of Coos County, Oregon, following rules the Secretary of the Interior sets. Coos County — not the federal government — must pay every expense of caring for, controlling, and managing this land.
