H.R. 440 is essential in order to resolve serious hardships for land and homeowners in Butte County, CA, brought about by the mistaken actions of the Federal Government. The problem began in 1961, when a Forest Service survey on the Plumas National Forest did not locate the original survey corner established in 1869. Because the surveyor could not locate the marker, he erroneously established a new corner, which private landowners have subsequently used to establish future boundaries which also are erroneous. Ultimately, 16 landowners have been adversely effected. While this legislation is noncontroversial, it is extremely important to the landowners who have experienced a great amount of hardship and anxiety over this unfortunate situation. H.R. 440 was drafted with the assistance of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The bill is designed to resolve boundary and land title issues between Federal and private lands.
