16 U.S.C. § 482c — Patents affecting forest lands

submitted 92 years ago by ch. 280 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 140 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Since 1934, mining patents for land in Mount Hood National Forest give the miner mineral rights and needed timber. The United States still keeps the surface, and unrelated surface uses need Forest Service approval.

Starting May 11, 1934, all patents issued under U.S. mining law affecting land within the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon convey title to the mineral deposits within the claim. They also give the right to cut and remove enough of the timber to extract and remove those minerals, but only if the timber is cut under sound forest-management principles as defined by national forest rules and regulations. Even so, each patent reserves to the United States all title to the surface of the land and its products. No use of the surface or its resources beyond what is reasonably required for mining or prospecting is allowed, except under the Forest Service's rules and regulations.
