natural condition shall be the prevailing purpose of such holdings.
Visitation shall be regulated so as to ensure this preservation on a
permanent basis.

Type 3. Areas which are not of ecological or primitive stature,
but which have the appearance of being in an untouched natural
state, or which are capable of attaining that appearance if held
and managed for this purpose.

(d)    The Secretary of Natural Resources may, at any time after
the enactment of this Act, review as to its suitability for preservation
as STATE wildlands, any area under his jurisdiction which he deems
worthy of consideration for protection as STATE wildland under this
Act and report his findings to the Governor. The Governor shall advise
the Maryland Senate and House of Delegates of his recommenda-
tions with respect to the designation as STATE "Wildland" or other
reclassification of each area on which review has been completed; to-
gether with maps and a definition of boundaries. Each recommenda-
tion of the Governor for designation as "wildland" shall become
effective only if so provided by an Act of the Legislature GENERAL
ASSEMBLY. Nothing herein contained shall limit the Governor in
proposing, as part of his recommendations to the Legislature GEN-
ERAL ASSEMBLY, the alteration of boundaries of proposed STATE
wildland areas or recommending the addition of any contiguous area
of State lands predominately of wildland value.

(e)    Within ten years after the effective date of this Act the
Secretary of Natural Resources shall review every roadless area of
five hundred contiguous acres or more in the State owned lands
under his jurisdiction on the effective date of this Act and every
such area of State owned roadless islands, State wildlife refuges and
public hunting areas under his jurisdiction on the effective date of
this Act and shall report to the Governor his recommendation as to
the suitability or non-suitability of each such area or island for
preservation as wildland. The Governor shall advise the President
of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Delegates of his recom-
mendation with respect to the designation as wildland of each such
area or island on which review has been completed, together with a
map thereof and a definition of its boundaries. Such advice shall be
given with respect to not less than one-third of the areas and islands
to be reviewed under this subsection within three years after the
enactment of this Act, not less than two-thirds within seven years
after the enactment of this Act, and the remainder within ten years
of enactment of this Act. A recommendation of the Governor for
designation as wildland shall become effective only if so provided
by an Act of the Legislature GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Nothing con-
tained herein shall, by implication or otherwise, be construed to lessen
the present statutory authority of the Secretary of Natural Resources
with respect to the maintenance of roadless areas presently under his
jurisdiction.

(f)    Any private citizen or organization desiring to recommend
an area for inclusion in the State Wildlands Preservation System
may prepare maps and a detailed description of the proposed area
for submission to the Secretary of Natural Resources for review.
Such a proposal report shall include:

(1) Detailed recommendations for proposed protection, location
