- Conveys the reservoir, Full Moon Dam, associated ditches and infrastructure, and the surrounding parcel to the city, along with water rights tied to the land
- Requires the city to take over all dam safety, repair, and maintenance costs and to keep the land as open space with free public recreational access, including fishing
- Bars development or commercial use on the land apart from recreation access and dam operation, and bars expanding the reservoir's surface footprint in ways that would harm upstream wetlands
- Lets the Forest Service reclaim the land if the city uses it in violation of these terms and the Secretary finds reversion is in the national interest
