following, in duplicate, to the appropriate Bureau of Land Management 

office (43 CFR part 1821):

    (a) A plan of development that includes:

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

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.
