§410uu–1 Expansion of boundaries

Summary

Expands the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park to include lands shown on five official maps: "Hopeton Earthworks" (map 353–80025, July 1987), "High Banks Works" (353–80027, July 1987), "Hopewell Mound Group" (353–80029, July 1987), "Seip Earthworks" (353–80033, July 1987), and "Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, Ohio Proposed Boundary Adjustment" (353/80,049, June 2006). Copies of those maps must be kept on file and available for public inspection at the office of the Director of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior can make small boundary changes after asking for public comment and publishing a notice in the Federal Register. All such small changes together cannot increase the park's total acreage by more than 10 percent over the current acreage of Mound City Group National Monument plus the lands added above. The Secretary may acquire land in the added areas by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, or land exchange. Land owned by the State of Ohio or its local governments can only be taken by donation or exchange. Purchases must be at fair market value based on an independent appraisal and follow the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.). Land added by the June 2006 map may be bought only from willing sellers.
