submitted 98 years ago by ch. 248 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 105 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Landowners can keep living on and farming their land inside the battlefield. The Secretary of the Interior sets simple terms for this arrangement. In return, owners must protect the buildings, roads, trees, and monuments already there.

This section lets some landowners stay on their property inside the battlefield. The Secretary of the Interior may make agreements, on nominal (minimal) terms the Secretary sets, with people who currently own land in the battlefield and want to keep living there. Under these agreements, owners may continue to occupy and farm their land, but only if they meet several conditions: They must preserve the buildings and roads already on the land, and keep the present layout of fields and forest. They may only cut trees or underbrush according to rules the Secretary sets. And they must help care for and protect any tablets, monuments, or other man-made structures that have been or will be put up by proper authority.
