§482i Plumas National Forest; Offer of Lands; Additions; Mining Rights

Summary

Private lands in the listed area that the Secretary of Agriculture finds mostly useful for national-forest purposes may be offered for exchange under the land-exchange rules in sections 485 and 486. After the required notice and when the United States accepts title, those lands become part of Plumas National Forest. Government-owned lands in the same area that both the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior find mostly useful and that are not already in a national forest can be added by a President’s proclamation, but additions remain subject to valid claims and current withdrawals. Any land received in exchange stays open to mineral claims, mining, and patenting under U.S. mining laws. Township 18 north, range 7 east, Mount Diablo base and meridian, California: Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 22, 23, 26, and 27.
