Interior shall declare establishment of the area by publication of
notice thereof in the Federal Register. Such notice shall contain a
detailed description of the boundaries of the area which shall
encompass, to the extent practicable, the lands and waters shown on said

establishment of the area pursuant to this subchapter.
(b) Adjustments in boundaries; publication in Federal Register;
acquisition of additional lands; acreage limitations
The Secretary of the Interior may subsequently make adjustments in

deem to be in the public interest, including an exchange of excluded for
included lands or interests therein with or without the payment or
receipt of money to equalize values, additional lands and interests
therein included in the area by reason of the boundary adjustment:
Provided, That the area encompassed by such revised boundary shall not
exceed the acreage included within the detailed boundary first described
pursuant to this section.
(c) Continuance of existing uses
On lands acquired pursuant to this subchapter for recreation
purposes, the Secretary of the Army, with the concurrence of the
Secretary of the Interior, may permit the continuance of existing uses
consistent with the purposes of this subchapter.
