L. 104-333, div. I, title VIII, Sec. 814(d)(1)(C), Nov. 12, 1996,
110 Stat. 4196, provided: "That the Congress finds that -
"(1) there are significant scenic, educational, natural, and
cultural resources in the town of Isle au Haut, Maine;
"(2) due to the isolated location and traditional
resource-based economy of the town's island community, these
resources are fragile and deserving of conservation and
protection through both public and private efforts; and
"(3) both residents of the town and visitors to the Acadia
National Park will benefit from the establishment of a permanent
boundary for the park and the management of parklands on a
limited entry, low intensity basis.
"Sec. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
permanent boundary of Acadia National Park lying within the town of
Isle au Haut, Maine, is hereby established to include only those
lands and interests therein as are depicted on the map entitled

indicated on the map referenced therein, the Secretary of the
Interior (hereinafter referred to as 'the Secretary') is authorized
to acquire lands and interests therein by donation or exchange. The
Secretary is authorized and directed to acquire by donation,

and interest of the United States in and to those lands under the
jurisdiction of the Secretary which lie outside the boundary

Secretary and the town agree are necessary to preserve the general
character of such lands, which shall include covenants to maintain
forever in their natural condition (excepting the cutting of fire
trails and the extinguishment of fires) lands above three hundred
feet above the mean high water level: Provided, however, That such
covenants with respect to lands above three hundred feet and below
four hundred feet shall permit the gathering and removal of dead
and fallen timber.
"(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act [this
note], the Secretary is also authorized to accept by donation, as a
coholder for enforcement purposes only, a limited enforcement
interest in conservation easements on lands outside the boundary
established by section 2 hereof and within the town of Isle au Haut
which may from time to time be donated to the Isle au Haut Land
Conservation Trust, a trust established under the laws of the State
of Maine. The Superintendent of Acadia National Park is hereby
authorized to serve as an ex officio trustee of such trust.
"Sec. 4. (a) The management and use of parklands on Isle au Haut
shall not interfere with the maintenance of a viable local
community with a traditional resource-based economy outside the
boundary of the park. To the maximum extent practicable, no
development or plan for the convenience of park visitors shall be
undertaken which would be incompatible with the preservation of the
flora and fauna or the physiographic conditions now prevailing, and
every effort shall be exerted to maintain and preserve this portion
of the park in as nearly its present state and condition as
possible. In recognition of the special fragility and sensitivity
of the park's resources, visitation shall be strictly limited to
assure negligible adverse impact on such resources, to conserve the
character of the town and to protect the quality of the visitor
experience.
"[(b), (c) Repealed. Pub. L. 104-333, div. I, title VIII, Sec.
814(d)(1)(C), Nov. 12, 1996, 110 Stat. 4196.]
"(d) Carrying capacities established pursuant to this section
shall be reviewed, and if necessary revised, every five years. Any
revision in such carrying capacity shall be made in accordance with
the procedures set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this
section.
"(e) Until such time as a carrying capacity limitation is
established and implemented pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of
this section, the Secretary shall take such temporary measures as
are necessary to assure that visitation does not exceed the average
annual visitation for the period 1979 to 1981.
"Sec. 5. There are hereby authorized to be appropriated after
October 1, 1982, such sums as may be necessary to carry out the
provisions of this Act [this note]."
