    If it is determined that lands are suitable and available for

following, in duplicate, to the appropriate Bureau of Land Management 
office (43 CFR part 1821):
    (a) A plan of development that includes:
    (1) A report on the economic feasibility of the project and the 
availability of an adequate supply of water to thoroughly irrigate and 
reclaim the lands to raise ordinary agricultural crops.
    (2) Procedures for avoiding or mitigating adverse environmental 
impacts and for rehabilitation of the lands if all or part of the 
project fails.
    (3) A map in sufficient detail to show the proposed major irrigation 
works and the lands to be irrigated. Map material and dimensions shall 
be as prescribed by the authorized officer and shall be drawn to a scale 
not greater than 1,000 feet to 1 inch. The map shall connect canals, 
pipelines larger than 8 inches in diameter, reservoirs and other major 
facilities in relationship to public survey lines or corners, where 
present. The map shall show other data as needed to enable retracement 
of the proposed major irrigation works on the ground. The engineer who 
prepared the map shall certify that the system depicted therein is 
accurately and fully represented and that the system proposed is 
sufficient to fully reclaim the lands.
    (4) Additional data concerning the specifics of the plan and its 
feasibility as required by the authorized officer.
    (b) A grant contract in a form prescribed by the Director, Bureau of 
Land Management, in duplicate, signed by the authorized State official, 
shall also be filed. A carbon copy of the contract shall not be 
accepted. The person who signs the contract on behalf of the State shall 
furnish evidence of his/her authority to do so. The contract shall 
obligate the State to all terms and conditions of the Act and all 
specifications of the approved plan, and shall obligate the United 
States to issue patents to the State upon actual reclamation of the 
lands according to the plan or to settlers who are its assignees, as 
provided in subpart 2093 of this title.
