TITLE 16—CONSERVATION
§ 1303
39, Wetlands of the United States, published by
the United States Department of the Interior (or
the inland fresh areas corresponding to such
types in any successor wetland classification
system developed by the Department of the In-
terior), (2) artificially developed inland fresh
areas that meet the description of the inland
fresh areas described in clause (1) of this sen-
tence, and (3) such other wetland types as the
Secretary may designate. No agreement shall be
entered into under this chapter concerning land
with respect to which the ownership or control
has changed in the two-year period preceding
the first year of the agreement period unless the
new ownership was acquired by will or succes-

owner, or unless the new ownership was acquired
prior to July 1, 1971, under other circumstances
which the Secretary determines, and specifies
by regulation, will give adequate assurance that
such land was not acquired for the purpose of
placing it in the program, except that this sen-
tence shall not be construed to prohibit the con-
tinuation of an agreement by a new owner or op-
erator after an agreement has once been entered
into under this chapter. A person who has oper-
ated the land to be covered by an agreement
under this chapter for as long as two years pre-
ceding the date of the agreement and who con-
trols the land for the agreement period shall not
be required to own the land as a condition of eli-

erator from placing land in the program if the
land was acquired by the owner or operator to
replace eligible land from which he was dis-
placed because of its acqui
