or requirement that it is to apply solely to the State.
F. The term 'Secretary" as used herein means the Secretary of the Interior, or any representative lawfully delegated the authority
to act for such Secretary.
Part II — Continuing Assurances
The parties to the project agreement specifically recognize that the Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance project creates an
obligation to maintain the property described in the project agreement consistent with the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act
and the following requirements.
Further, it is the acknowledged intent of the parties hereto that recipients of assistance will use moneys granted hereunder for the
purposes of this program, and that assistance granted from the Fund will result in a net increase, communsurate at least with the
Federal cost -share, in a participant's outdoor recreation. It is intended by both parties hereto that assistance from the Fund will be
added to, rather than replace or be substituted for, State and local outdoor recreation funds.
A. The State agrees, as recipient of this assistance, that it will meet the following specific requirements and that it will further
impose these requirements, and the terms of the project agreement, upon any political subdivision or public agency to which
funds are transferred pursuant to the project agreement. The State also agrees that it shall be responsible for compliance with
the terms of the project agreement by such a political subdivision or public agency and that failure by such political subdivision
or public agency to so comply shall be deemed a failure by the State to comply with the terms of this agreement.
B. The State agrees that the property described in the project agreement and the dated project boundary map made part of that
agreement is being acquired or developed with Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance, or is integral to such acquisition
or development, and that, without the approval of the Secretary, it shall not be converted to other than public outdoor
recreation use but shall be maintained in public outdoor recreation in perpetuity or for the term of the lease in the case of
leased property. The Secretary shall approve such conversion only if he finds it to be in accord with the then existing
comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation plan and only upon such conditions as he deems necessary to assure the
substitution of other recreation properties of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and
location. This replacement land becomes subject to Section 6(f)(3) protection. The approval of conversion shall be at the sole
discretion of the Secretary, or his designee. Prior to the completion of this project, the State and the Director may mutually
alter the area described in the project agreement and the dated project boundary map to provide the most satisfactory public
outdoor recreation unit, except that acquired parcels are afforded Section 6(f)(3) protection as Fund reimbursement is
provided.
In the event the HCRS provides Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance for the acquisition and/or development of
property subject to reversionary interests with full knowledge of those reversionary interests, conversion of said property to
other than public outdoor recreation uses as a result of such reversionary interest being exercised is approved. In receipt of this
approval, the State agrees to notify the Service of the conversion as soon as possible and to seek approval of replacement
property in accord with the conditions set forth in these provisions. The State further agrees to effectuate such replacement
within a reasonable period of time, acceptable to the Service, after the conversion of property takes place. The provisions of
this paragraph are also applicable to: leased properties acquired and/or developed with Fund assistance where such lease is
terminated prior to its full term due to the existence of provisionsin such lease known and agreed to by the Service; and
properties subject to other outstanding rights and interests that may result in a conversion when known and agreed to by the
Service.
C. The State agrees that the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the State with the terms of
this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the quality of public outdoor recreation facilities and
resources which are available to the people, of the State and of the United States, and such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable
and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this
agreement. The State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an amount equal to the amount of assistance
extended under this agreement by the United States would be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by
the State of this agreement. The State further agrees, therefore,. that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the
State of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement.
D. The State agrees to comply with the policies and procedures set forth in the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service
(HCRS) Grants -in -Aid Manual. Provisions of said Manual are incorporated into and made a part of the project agreement.
E. The State agrees that the property and facilities described in the project agreement shall be operated and maintained as
prescribed by Manual requirements.

F. The State agrees that a permanent record shall be kept in the project participant's public property records and available for
public inspection to the effect that the property described in the scope of the project agreement, and the dated project
boundary map made part of that agreement, has been acquired or developed with Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance
and that it cannot be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use without the written approval of the Secretary of
the Interior.
