The area must be contiguous and shall include the entire hydrologic area on which a proposed plan of work is to be developed. The petition shall set forth a legal description by congressional subdivision, or otherwise, of the land suggested for inclusion in the subdistrict. The petition shall contain a brief statement giving the reason for organization, requesting that the proposed area be organized as a subdistrict and must be signed by one or more owners of fifty percent of the lands in the proposed subdistrict.
