SEC. 606. TIME FOR RECLAMATION. 



The foregoing section is hereby amended so that the ten years' 

 period within which any state shall cause the lands applied for under 

 said section to be irrigated and reclaimed, as provided in this chapter, 

 shall begin to run from the date of approval by the Secretary of the In- 

 terior of the state's application for the segregation of such lands; and 

 if the state fails within said ten years to cause the whole or any part of 

 the lands so segregated to be so irrigated and reclaimed, the Secretary 

 of the Interior may, in his discretion, continue said segregation for a 

 period of not exceeding five years, or may, in his discretion, restore such 

 lands to the public domain. (Act Mar. 3, '01; 31 Stat. L., p. 1188, sec.

SEC. 607. PLANS FOR RECLAMATION USE. 



Before the application of any state is allowed or any contract or 

 agreement is executed or any segregation of any of the land from the 

 public domain is ordered by the Secretary of the Interior, the state shall 

 file a map of the said land proposed to be irrigated which shall exhibit 

 a plan showing the mode of the contemplated irrigation and which plan 

 shall be sufficient to thoroughly irrigate and reclaim said land and pre- 

 pare it to raise ordinary agricultural crops and shall also show the 

 source of the water to be used for irrigation and reclamation, and the 

 Secretary of the Interior may make necessary regulations for the reser- 

 vation of the lands applied for by the states to date from the date of 

 the filing of the map and plan of irrigation, but such reservation shall 

 be of no force whatever if such map and plan of irrigation shall not be 

 approved. Any state contracting under this section is hereby au- 

 thorized to make all necessary contracts to cause the said lands to be 

 reclaimed, and to induce their settlement and cultivation in accordance 

 with and subject to the provisions of this section; but the state shall 

 not be authorized to lease any of said lands or to use or dispose of the 

 same in any way whatever, except to secure their reclamation, cultiva- 

 tion and settlement. (Act Aug. 18, '94; 28 Stat. L., p. 422; 6 Fed. Stat.

 proper officer of any State or Territory to which said section applies, to 

 withdraw temporarily from settlement or entry areas embracing lands 

 for which the state or territory proposes to make application under said 

 section, pending the investigation and survey preliminary to the filing
