43 U.S.C. § 451d — Disposal of improvements; water rights; revertibil­ity of relinquished land

submitted 73 years ago by ch. 428 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 138 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

After the government approves a land trade, the settler has 90 days to remove improvements from the old land. Any water right tied to that old land ends. The old land goes back to being public land, to be handled under the usual reclamation rules.

Within ninety days of getting notice that the Secretary approved an exchange application, the settler — or whoever they sold or transferred to — may take away any improvements they built on the land they're giving up, as long as this doesn't conflict with anyone else's rights. When the trade happens, any water right tied to the original land under the federal reclamation laws ends, and the water supply that right used becomes available to be assigned under those same laws. Any land given up or handed over to the United States under this subchapter goes back to being public land, and the Secretary may dispose of it under any of the federal reclamation laws.

Within ninety days after receipt of notice of the approval by the Secretary of the application for exchange of entry and subject to the rights and interests of other parties, the entryman may dispose of, and he or his transferee or vendee may remove, any and all improvements placed on the relinquished unit. Upon the making of an exchange under this subchapter, any water right appurtenant to the original lands under the Federal reclamation laws shall cease and the water supply theretofore used or required to satisfy such right shall be available for disposition under those laws. Any land relinquished or conveyed to the United States under this subchapter shall revert to or become a part of the public domain and be subject to disposition by the Secretary under any of the provisions of the Federal reclamation laws.
