South Carolina State Commission of Forestry on be-
half of the State of South Carolina.
(2) The Commission seeks to widen the Pal-
metto Trail by acquiring a corridor of land along the
northeastern border of the trail from the Anne

tract of former Federal land now owned by the Com-
mission.
(3) At the time of the conveyance of the former
Federal land to the Commission in 1955, the United

lina State Commission of Forestry, dated June

‘‘Boundary Survey for South Carolina Forestry
Commission’’, dated August 1998, and filed, to-
gether with a legal description of the tract, with the

tract of land identified as Parcel G on the map num-
bered 225–HI, entitled ‘‘South Carolina Forestry
