Sec. 460m-1. Acquisition of lands, easements, etc.; exchange of
lands; consent of State; reversion to State; administrative
jurisdiction of Federal lands or waters
The Secretary may, within the area designated or altered pursuant to
section 460m-3 of this title, acquire lands and interests therein,
including scenic easements, by such means as he may deem to be in the
public interest: Provided, That scenic easements may only be acquired
with the consent of the owner of the lands or waters thereof: And
provided further, That any parcel of land containing not more than five
hundred acres, which borders either the Current River or the Jacks Fork
River, and which is being primarily used for agricultural purposes,
shall be acquired by the Secretary in its entirety unless the owner of
any such parcel consents to the acquisition of a part thereof. Property
so acquired which lies outside the boundary generally depicted on the
map referred to in section 460m of this title may be exchanged by the
Secretary for any land of approximately equal value within the
boundaries. Lands and waters owned by the State of Missouri within such
area may be acquired with the consent of the State and, notwithstanding
any other provision of law, subject to provision for reversion to such
State conditioned upon continued use of the property for National Scenic
Riverway. Federally owned lands or water lying within such area shall,
upon establishment of the area pursuant to section 460m-3 of this title,
be transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary,
without transfer of funds, for administration as part of the Ozark
National Scenic Riverways.

provisions authorizing lands and waters owned by the State of Missouri
to be acquired only with the consent of the State.
