or its successor attempts to transfer title to or control over the
lands to another, the lands have been devoted to a use other than that
for which the lands were conveyed, the lands have not been used for the
purpose for which the lands were conveyed for a 5-year period, or the
patentee has failed to follow the approved development plan or
management plan.
