16 U.S.C. § 410l — Rules and regulations governing reservation rights
submitted 68 years ago by Pub. L. 85-482 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 98 words · no verdicts yet
Owners who kept mineral rights under section 410j must follow the Secretary's reasonable rules protecting the park. But those rules must still let owners explore for, develop, and remove oil, gas, and minerals using sound conservation methods.
Some owners kept oil, gas, and mineral rights under subsections (1) and (2) of section 410j of this title. When those owners use those rights, they must follow reasonable rules and regulations that the Secretary can set to protect the park. But there's a limit on how strict those rules can be: they must still let the owners actually explore for, develop, extract, and remove the oil, gas, and minerals — as long as they use sound conservation practices while doing it. Every operation on this reserved land must follow whatever regulations the Secretary sets to protect the land and the area for the park's purposes.
Any reservations retained under the provisions of subsections (1) and (2) of section 410j of this title shall be exercised by the owners subject to reasonable rules and regulations which the Secretary may prescribe for the protection of the park, but which shall permit the reserved rights to be exercised so that the oil, gas, and minerals may be explored for, developed, extracted, and removed from the park area in accordance with sound conservation practices. All operations shall be carried on under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe to protect the land and area for park purposes.
