16 U.S.C. § 460xx–4 — Land acquisition

submitted 38 years ago by Pub. L. 100-696 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 68 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can add land to the San Pedro conservation area by buying it, trading for it, or accepting it as a gift. State and local government land can only come in through a donation or trade, never a purchase. Either way, the landowner must agree.

The Secretary may acquire land or land interests within the conservation area's boundaries by exchange, purchase, or donation. There's one limit: land or interests owned by a state or local government can only be acquired by donation or exchange, not by purchase. And no matter the method, any purchase or exchange requires the consent of the landowner — the Secretary can't force a sale or trade.

Any purchase or exchange of lands to be added to the conservation area shall require the consent of the owner of those lands or rights.
