§469e Plan for continental glaciation

Summary

The Secretary of the Interior, working with Wisconsin state and local governments, may make a plan within two years after October 13, 1964, to protect, preserve, and explain outstanding glacial features in Wisconsin. He may spend up to $50,000 of Federal money on the plan. When the plan is done and Wisconsin has laws to protect the important features and keep them open to the public, he must send copies to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House and may, after consulting the Governor and waiting ninety days, publish notice in the Federal Register creating the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve and its boundaries. The reserve will cover lands owned or to be acquired by Wisconsin state and local governments in the eastern (parts of Kettle Moraine and Campbellsport drumlin), central (parts of Devil’s Lake State Park), northwestern (parts of Chippewa County), and other areas the Secretary and Governor agree are significant. Areas outside national forests that they later agree are significant can be added or removed by the Secretary after the same notice to congressional leaders and publication in the Federal Register.
