Sec. 315c. Fences, wells, reservoirs, and other improvements;
construction; permits; partition fences
Fences, wells, reservoirs, and other improvements necessary to the
care and management of the permitted livestock may be constructed on the
public lands within such grazing districts under permit issued by the
authority of the Secretary, or under such cooperative arrangement as the
Secretary may approve. Permittees shall be required by the Secretary of
the Interior to comply with the provisions of law of the State within
which the grazing district is located with respect to the cost and
maintenance of partition fences. No permit shall be issued which shall
entitle the permittee to the use of such improvements constructed and
owned by a prior occupant until the applicant has paid to such prior
occupant the reasonable value of such improvements to be determined
under rules and regulations of the Secretary of the Interior. The
decision of the Secretary in such cases is to be final and conclusive.
