The Department of the Interior may acquire, by donation or purchase, the land and interests within the monument only from willing sellers.

No nonfederal property may be included in the monument without the owner's written consent.

Interior may not acquire land or interests by condemnation or eminent domain.

Nothing in this bill, neither the establishment of the monument nor the management plan for the monument, shall be construed as creating buffer zones outside of the monument.
