 inafter referred to in this Act as the "Refuge"). 

 The Refuge shall consist of — 



(1) those lands and waters, comprising 

 forty-nine thousand ninety-seven and eleven 

 one-thousandths acres, of which a 40 per cen- 

 tum undivided interest therein was granted to 

 the United States of America by The Nature 

 Conservancy by deed dated February 22, 1973, 

 and which are more particularly described in 

 exhibit A of the deed, dated February 21, 1973, 

 by which such interest in such lands and wa- 

 ters was granted to The Nature Conservancy 

 by the Union Camp Corporation (and such 

 deeds shall be on file and available for public 

 inspection in the office of the Bureau of Sport 

 Fisheries and Wildlife, Department of the In- 

 terior) ; and 



(2) such additional lands and waters and in- 

 terests therein as the Secretary of the Inte- 

 rior (hereinafter referred to in this Act as the 

 "Secretary") may acquire after the date of the 

 enactment of this Act pursuant to section 3 

 of this Act. 



(b) Until such time as the remaining undivided 

 interest in the lands and waters described in sub- 

 section (a)(1) of this section is granted to the 

 Secretary, he shall lease such remaining interest 

 on such terms and conditions as he deems appro- 

 priate. 



Sec. 2. Subject to such restrictions, conditions, 

 and reservations as are specified in the deeds re- 

 ferred to in the first section of this Act, the Secre- 

 tary shall administer the lands and waters and 

 interests therein within the Refuge in accord- 

 ance with the provisions of the National Wild- 

 life Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (16 



U.S.C. 668dd-6e8ee) , except that the Secretary may 

 utilize such additional statutory authority as may 

 be available to him for the conservation and man- 

 agement of wildlife and natural resources, the de- 

 velopment of outdoor recreation opportunities, and 

 interpretative education as he deems appropriate 

 to carry out the purposes of this Act. In the ad- 

 ministration of the Refuge, the Secretary and the 

 Chief of Engineers, Corps of Engineers, shall en- 

 ter into such consultations and take such coopera- 

 tive actions as they deem necessary and appro- 

 priate to insure that any navigational or other uses 

 made of the Dismal Swamp Canal do not adversely 

 affect the Refuge and, in this regard, particular 

 attention shall be given by the Secretary and the 

 Chief of Engineers with respect to maintaining an 

 appropriate water level in Lake Drummond.

 purchase with donated or appropriated funds, or 

 exchange, such lands and waters and interests

 the area known as the Great Dismal Swamp lo- 

 cated in the States of Virginia and North Caro- 

 lina as he determines to be suitable to carry out 

 the purposes of this Act; except that Secretary may 

 not acquire any such lands and waters and in- 

 terests therein by purchase or exchange without 

 first taking into account such recommendations as 

 m.ay result from the study required under Public 

 Law 92-478, approved October 9, 1972 (86 Stat. 

 793-794).
