Title 16 › Chapter 1— NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › Subchapter LXXXV— SAWTOOTH NATIONAL RECREATION AREA › § 460aa–3
The Secretary must create and publish rules about how privately owned land inside the recreation area can be used, divided, and developed. The rules must help reach the law’s goals and make sure private uses fit the recreation area's general plan. They should be as detailed as needed, can be different for different parcels, and can be changed by the Secretary. All rules must follow the procedures in subchapter II of chapter 5 and chapter 7 of title 5. After the rules are published, the Secretary may not take private land by condemnation unless the land is being used or is about to be used in ways that break the rules, or unless the land is needed for access or development. If taken for access or development, those acquisitions must follow the 5 percent limit in section 460aa–2(a). Any affected landowner may ask the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho to review the rules by filing a declaratory judgment complaint within six months after the rules take effect.
