poses for which the System units were established; and

to prevent or minimize damage to the environment and other resource 
values. 
§ 1031.02. Preservation and management of System units by

year after September 28, 1976, shall be conclusively presumed to be aban-

fied in writing by an appropriate scientific, historical, or archaeological au-
thority that a district, site, building, structure, or object that has been 
found to be nationally significant in illustrating natural history or the his-
tory of the United States and that has been designated as a natural or his-
toric landmark may be irreparably lost or destroyed in whole or in part by 
any surface mining activity, including exploration for or removal or produc-
tion of minerals or materials, the Secretary shall notify the person con-
ducting the activity and submit a report on the findings or notification, in-
cluding the basis for the Secretary’s finding that the activity may cause ir-

chapter, or by orders or regulations issued pursuant to this chapter, may 
bring a civil action in United States district court to recover just compensa-
tion, which shall be awarded if the court finds that the loss constitutes a 
taking of property compensable under the Constitution. 
§ 1031.06. Acquisition of land by Secretary 
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit the authority of the 
Secretary to acquire land and interests in land within the boundary of any 
System unit. The Secretary shall give prompt and careful consideration to 
any offer made by the owner of any valid right or other property in Glacier 
Bay National Monument, Death Valley National Monument, Organ Pipe 
Cactus National Monument, or Mount McKinley National Park to sell the 
right or other property if the owner notifies the Secretary that the contin-
ued ownership of the right or property is causing, or would result in, undue
