Sec. 460nn. Findings and purpose

-STATUTE-
(a) Congress finds that -
(1) Vermont is a beautiful but small and rural State, situated
near four large cities with combined metropolitan populations of
over fifteen million;
(2) geographic and topographic characteristics of Vermont
provide opportunities for large numbers of people to experience
the beauty of primitive areas, but also place unusual pressure to
provide options to maximize the availability of such lands for a
variety of forms of recreation;
(3) certain lands designated as the Big Branch and Peru Peak
Wilderness Areas by title I of this Act are suitable for
inclusion as part of the national recreation area; and
(4) certain other lands in the Green Mountain National Forest
not designated as wilderness by this Act are of a predominantly
roadless nature and possess outstanding wild values that are
important for primitive and semiprimitive recreation, watershed
protection, wildlife habitat, ecological study, education, and
historic and archeological resources, and are deemed suitable for
preservation and protection as part of a national recreation
area.

(b) The purpose of this subchapter is to designate certain
National Forest System lands in the State of Vermont as the White
Rocks National Recreation Area in order to preserve and protect
their existing wilderness and wild values and to promote wild
forest and aquatic habitat for wildlife, watershed protection,
opportunities for primitive and semiprimitive recreation, and
scenic, ecological, and scientific values.

-STATUTE-
(a) In general
In order to conserve, protect, and manage, in a substantially
undeveloped condition, certain National Forest System lands in the
State of Oregon having unique geographic, topographic, biological,
ecological features and possessing significant scenic, wildlife,
dispersed recreation, and watershed values, there is hereby
established, within the Umpqua, Willamette, Winema and Deschutes
National Forests, the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area (hereinafter
referred to in this subchapter as the "recreation area").
(b) Administration
The recreation area shall comprise approximately one hundred
fifty-six thousand nine hundred acres as generally depicted on a
map entitled "Oregon Cascades Recreation Area" dated March 1984.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Secretary of
Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the "Secretary") shall
administer and manage the recreation area in accordance with the
laws and regulations applicable to the National Forest System so as
to enhance scenic and watershed values, wildlife habitat, and

(1) Subject to valid existing rights, all mining claims located
within the recreation area shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Secretary may prescribe to insure that mining
activities will, to the maximum extent practicable, be consistent
with the purposes for which the recreation area is established. Any
patent issued after June 26, 1984, shall convey title only to the
minerals together with the right to use the surface of lands for
mining purposes subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Secretary shall prescribe.
(2) Effective January 1, 1989, and subject to valid existing
rights, the lands located within the recreation area are hereby
withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the mining laws and

Within the recreation area, the Secretary may permit, under
appropriate regulations those limited activities and facilities
which he determines necessary for resource protection and
management and for visitor safety and comfort, including -

remove the dead or damaged timber;
(5) those developments or facilities necessary for the public
enjoyment and use of the recreation area, when such development
or facilities do not detract from the purposes of the recreation

Sec. 460ss. Findings

-STATUTE-
The Congress finds that -
(1) the Klamath and Trinity Rivers have been placed under the
California and National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems to protect
their outstanding anadromous fishery values;
(2) the Klamath and Trinity Rivers provide fishery resources
necessary for Indian subsistence and ceremonial purposes, ocean
commercial harvest, recreational fishing, and the economic health
of many local communities;
(3) floods, the construction and operation of dams, diversions
and hydroelectric projects, past mining, timber harvest
practices, and roadbuilding have all contributed to
sedimentation, reduced flows, and degraded water quality which
has significantly reduced the anadromous fish habitat in the
Klamath-Trinity River System;
(4) overlapping Federal, State, and local jurisdictions,
inadequate enforcement of fishery harvest regulations, and
ineffective fishery management have historically hampered fishery
conservation efforts and prevented the Federal Government and the
State of California from fulfilling their responsibilities to
protect the rivers' anadromous fishery values;
(5) the Klamath-Trinity fall chinook salmon populations have
declined by 80 percent from historic levels and steelhead trout
have also undergone significant reductions;
(6) Klamath River Basin Fisheries Resource Plan has been
developed by the Secretary acting through the Bureau of Indian
Affairs;
(7) the Klamath Salmon Management Group, a group of agencies
with fishery management responsibility, has established, in
cooperation with the users of the Klamath-Trinity River Basin
fishery resources, a sound framework for the future coordination
of fishery harvest management;
(8) a new Klamath-Trinity River Basin Management authority,
composed of the Klamath Salmon Management Group and
representatives of users of the fishery resources of the
Klamath-Trinity River Basin, is needed to ensure more effective
long-term coordination of the Klamath-Trinity River fisheries
under sound conservation and management principles that ensure
adequate spawning escapement; and
(9) the Secretary has the authority to implement a restoration
program only in the Trinity River Basin and needs additional
authority to implement a restoration program in cooperation with
State and local governments to restore anadromous fish
populations to optimum levels in both the Klamath and Trinity
River Basins; (!1)

River Basin Fisheries Resource Plan referred to in section
460ss(6) of this title and shall be known as the Klamath River
Basin Conservation Area Restoration Program.
(2) Program activities
In carrying out the objectives of the program, the Secretary,
in cooperation with the task force established under section
460ss-3 of this title, shall -
(A) monitor and coordinate research evaluating the Area
anadromous fish populations and administer and evaluate the
success of activities described in subparagraph (B); and
(B) take such actions as are necessary to -
(i) improve and restore Area habitats, and to promote
access to blocked Area habitats, to support increased run
sizes;
(ii) rehabilitate problem watersheds in the Area to reduce
negative impacts on fish and fish habitats;
(iii) improve existing Area hatcheries and rearing ponds to
assist in rebuilding the natural populations;
(iv) implement an intensive, short-term stocking program to
rebuild run sizes while maintaining the genetic integrity and
diversity of Area subbasin stocks; and
(v) improve upstream and downstream migration by removal of
obstacles to fish passage and the provision of facilities for
avoiding obstacles.
(3) Restoration work
To the extent practicable, any restoration work performed under
paragraph (2)(B) shall be performed by unemployed -
(A) commercial fishermen;
(B) Indians; and
(C) other persons whose livelihood depends upon Area fishery
resources.
(4) Memorandum of agreement
In order to facilitate the implementation of any activity
described in paragraph (2) over which the Secretary does not have
jurisdiction, the Secretary shall enter into a memorandum of
agreement with the Federal, State, and local agencies having
jurisdiction over such activities, and the Area Indian tribes.
The memorandum of agreement shall specify the program activities
for which the respective signatories to the agreement are
responsible and shall contain such provisions as are necessary to
ensure the coordinated implementation of the program.
