Justice Dept Reports on Anacostia River Title Ownership
Department of Justice findings argue the district lands along the Anacostia Riverfront rest with the United States for public uses.

The commissioners discuss potential claims by riparian owners, but the central conclusion favors federal ownership for public use.
