submitted 70 years ago by ch. 987 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 157 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Army may transfer, free of charge, reservoir-area roads to a state, local government, or an organization of at least half the cottage-site owners, if the roads mainly serve cottage sites. The transfer deed must require proper use and upkeep, and the land reverts to the United States if it stops being used for roads.

The Secretary of the Army can transfer land used for roads that mainly serve cottage-site areas — by quitclaim deed, easement, or another method — without charging money. The recipient can be the state where the cottage sites sit, a local government there, or a group made up of at least 50 percent of the cottage-site owners in the area. The transfer document must require the recipient to properly use and maintain the road. Any deed transferring the land for road purposes must say that if the land ever stops being used for roads, it goes back to the United States immediately.
