in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can create a plan to protect Wisconsin's glacial landscape, working with state and local governments. Once the plan is ready and Wisconsin has protective laws, the Secretary can create the reserve. The reserve covers several listed areas, which can later be added to or removed.

(a) Federal funds To carry out the purpose of sections 469d to 469i of this title, the Secretary of the Interior ("the Secretary"), working with Wisconsin's state and local governments, may put together a full plan — within two years of October 13, 1964 — for protecting, preserving, and explaining the best examples of continental glaciation in Wisconsin. He may not spend more than $50,000 of federal money on this. (b) Copies to Congress; establishment; boundaries Once the plan is finished, and the Secretary is satisfied that Wisconsin has state laws protecting the reserve's nationally significant features — open to people from the whole country — he must send copies of the plan to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. Ninety days after that, and after consulting Wisconsin's Governor, he may publish a notice in the Federal Register creating the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve and setting its boundaries. Those boundaries must consist of land that Wisconsin's state and local governments own or will acquire, in these areas: (1) Eastern area — parts of the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest and the Campbellsport drumlin area; (2) Central area — parts of Devil's Lake State Park; (3) Northwestern area — parts of Chippewa County; (4) Related areas — other areas in Wisconsin that the Secretary and the Governor agree are significant examples of continental glaciation. (c) Inclusion and exclusion of other areas The Secretary may add an area outside the national forests to the reserve if he and the Governor of Wisconsin agree it shows significant continental glaciation but it was not in the original notice — after notifying the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House and publishing a notice in the Federal Register, the same way as before. He may remove an area from the reserve the same way, if he and the Governor agree it is no longer needed as part of the reserve.
