cooperation with the National Park Service, will be maintained in division, district and area
offices. All projects should receive "Grist" on a regular basis for use by all employees. The
publications should be made available for use by natural resources management personnel at all
levels of responsibility and such personnel should be encouraged to utilize them fully.
Contributions by all Corps personnel of material suitable for publication in these publications are
encouraged. Contributions need not be in finished form for publication. The main objective is to
get the complete idea of the submission across to the publishing staff. Drawings or photographs
should accompany the contribution where practicable. All material for publication should be sent
by the contributor directly to Park Practice, National Park Service, Department of the Interior
WASH, DC 20240.
c. Outgranting of Lands. At the conclusion of the negotiations for an outgrant and prior
to construction and/or operation, the Operations Project Manager and the district real estate
representative who negotiated the outgrant shall meet with the grantee (preferably at the project)
and go over the terms and conditions of the outgrant. There will be coordination with operations
on the final draft of the instrument prior to execution.
(1) Compliance Inspections by Project Personnel. These inspections will be performed
during the term of the outgrant at least once every five years and more often if circumstances
dictate. On the outgrants to be inspected by project personnel, the district real estate element will
forward through operations channels to the Operations Project Manager a list of properties to be
inspected along with a schedule of when the inspections should be made. Reports of the
inspection will be forwarded through operations channels to the real estate element. Instances of
unsatisfactory outgrantee performance will be reported immediately. Also, project personnel
should perform interim inspections on all outgrants in such a way as to not be onerous or
burdensome to the outgrantee. Immediate corrective action will be taken at the project level if
emergency health and safety is involved. All correspondence concerning inspection of outgrants
will be coordinated with the operations and real estate elements of the district. Project personnel
will charge to the real estate compliance inspection cost account only that time on site devoted
specifically to assisting the real estate compliance inspection effort.
(2) Compliance Inspections by Real Estate. The Operations Project Manager will be
notified in advance of an inspection and will be invited to accompany real estate personnel. The
Operations Project Manager should evaluate each outgrant prior to renewal and if warranted,
furnish a written recommendation for extending or terminating the outgrant through the
operations channels to the real estate element. A copy of the inspection report will be furnished
to the operations element. The Operations Project Manager will be furnished a copy of all
outgrants and pertinent correspondence.
(3) Human Habitation. Actions to remove those trailers currently on concessions and
club sites at Corps projects should be terminated unless the conditions set forth in Section
1134(d) of PL 99-662 are not being met. Existing leases may be modified as needed to provide
for continuation of trailer uses as long as there is compliance with the conditions of Section
1134(d).
(4) Private Exclusive Use. Water and land areas at Corps projects are maintained for the
benefit of the general public. Since the early 1960's, the permanent siting of floating cabins,
cottages and non-transient mobile homes and trailers for private exclusive use at projects areas
has been discouraged. Guidelines for implementing the policy on private exclusive use, as well
