70-3A-7. Abandonment of easement.

When an easement is acquired pursuant to the Gathering Line Land Acquisition Act [70-3A-1 to 70-3A-7 NMSA 1978] and the use for which the easement is acquired is subsequently abandoned, the easement is extinguished and the property interest reverts to the landowner or his successor in interest of the fee, free from any rights in the mineral developer.
