Application for submersible lands.
(1) If application is made for the purchase of submersible lands, the applicant

State Lands. The survey must connect with and conform to adjacent surveys
acceptable to the department, so far as practicable. The applicant must submit

(2) Each
application to purchase submersible lands must, in addition to all other
requirements, contain the applicants statement that application is made with
knowledge of the character of the land applied for and the title of the state
thereto, and the waiver of the applicant of all claims upon the state for the
return of the purchase price of the lands in the event that the lands, or any
part thereof, do not belong to the state. [1967 c.421 §53 (enacted in lieu of
