16 U.S.C. § 460w–2 — Acquisition of property; authority of Secretary; State and Federal lands

submitted 56 years ago by Pub. L. 91-424 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 110 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can buy land for the Apostle Islands Lakeshore through donation, purchase, or trade. Land owned by Wisconsin can only come to the lakeshore as a gift, not a purchase. Federal land already inside the lakeshore transfers to the Secretary automatically, though the Coast Guard can keep using parts of it for navigation aids.

The Secretary may get land and land interests within the lakeshore's boundaries in three ways: by donation, by purchase using either donated or government funds, or by exchange. There's one limit: land and interests owned by the State of Wisconsin can only be acquired by donation, not purchase or exchange. Separately, any federal property already located within the lakeshore's boundaries transfers automatically to the Secretary's control for running the lakeshore — no money needs to change hands between agencies. The one exception is that the U.S. Coast Guard may keep using part of that land and its facilities as navigational aids, for as long as it needs them for that purpose.
