Section 11.82.650. Control.

	(a)  The physical location of the boundaries of any legal subdivision subject to a lease describing land according to a protracted survey, is, for the purposes of sec. 645 of this chapter, controlled by the latitudes and longitudes indicated on the protracted survey, if no portion of the protracted survey has been surveyed by the department or by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, under the public land rectangular system. If a portion has been surveyed by the department or the Bureau of Land Management, that survey applies. When locating the unsurveyed remainder of a section of land, a projection of the section lines from the surveyed portion as monumented under the public rectangular system to the first protracted section corner position determines the remainder of the surveyed section. If the first protracted section corner position can be closed into by the public land rectangular survey system within the accuracies and standards established by the Bureau of Land Management's 1947 Manual of Surveying Instructions and in accordance with the department's survey requirements, the protracted corner becomes a common corner for description purposes. Otherwise the surveyed section of land is closed into the protracted section line position as defined by protracted data.  
	(b)  The boundaries of leases issued before July 22, 1979 will be controlled by this section upon approval of the commissioner with the consent of the lessees of record.
