PUBLIC LAW 96-96—SEPT. 25, 1985 if the lands had been conveyed to NANA pursuant to paragraph A(3) of the Agreement. "(d)(1) There is hereby granted to NANA an easement in and to the lands designated as 'Transportation System Lands' on the map entitled 'Modified Cape Krusenstern Land Exchange', dated July 18, 1985, for use in the construction, operation, maintenance, expansion and reclamation of the transportation system. Use of the easement for such purposes shall be subject only to the terms and conditions governing the construction, operation, maintenance, expansion and reclamation of the transportation system, as set forth in Exhibit B to the Agreement. "(2) The easement granted pursuant to this section shall be for a term of 100 years. The easement shall terminate prior to the 100year term: "(i) if it is relinquished to the United States; or "(ii) if construction of the transportation system has not commenced within 20 years of the enactment of this subsection. Computation of the 20-year period shall exclude periods when construction could not commence because of force majeure, act of God or order of a court; or "(iii) upon completion of reclamation pursuant to the reclamation plan required by Exhibit B to the Agreement. "(3) Within 90 days after enactment of this section the Secretary shall execute the necessary documents evidencing the grant to NANA of the easement granted by this section. "(4) Except as regards the trail easement described in Exhibit D to the Agreement (to which the 'Transportation System Lands' shall be subject as if such lands had been conveyed to NANA pursuant to paragraph A(l) of the Agreement), access to the lands subject to the easement granted by this section shall be subject to such limitations, restrictions or conditions as may be imposed by NANA, its successors and assigns, but NANA and its successors and assigns shall permit representatives of the Secretary such access as the Secretary determines is necessary for the monitoring required by this section. "(e) The easement granted by this section makes available land for the transportation system, and is intended to be sufficient to permit NANA to comply with the laws of the State of Alaska which may be necessary to secure financing of the construction of the transportation system and the operation, maintenance or expansion thereof by the State of Alaska or by the Alaska Industrial Development Authority. "(f) The easement granted to NANA by this section may be reconveyed by NANA, but after any such reconveyance the terms and conditions specified in Exhibit B of the Agreement shall continue to apply in full to the easement. "(g) NANA is hereby granted the right to use, develop and sell sand, gravel and related construction materials from borrow sites located within the easement granted pursuant to this section as required for the construction, operation, maintenance, expansion and reclamation of the transportation system, subject to the terms and conditions specified in Exhibit B of the Agreement. "(h)(1) The construction, operation, maintenance, expansion and reclamation of any portion of the transportation system on any of the lands subject to the easement granted to NANA by this section shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the procedural and substantive provisions of Exhibit B to the Agreement, as if the lands covered by the easement
