of Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior, as appropriate, in 
accordance with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) and this 
Act, except that, with respect to any wilderness areas designated by 
this Act, any reference in the Wilderness Act to the effective date of 
the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the date of 
enactment of this Act.
    (2) Administrative jurisdiction over those lands designated as 
wilderness pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (10) of section 2(a) of this 
Act, and which, as of the date of enactment of this Act, are 
administered by the Bureau of Land Management, is hereby transferred to 
the Forest Service and such lands are hereby added to the appropriate 
National Forest.
    (b) Grazing.--Grazing of livestock in wilderness areas designated by 
this Act shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of

interpreted by section 108 of Public Law 96-560, and, as regards 
wilderness managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the guidelines set 
forth in Appendix A of House Report 101-405 of the 101st Congress.
    (c) State Jurisdiction.--As provided in section 4(d)(7) of the

Wilderness Act of 1978 (92 Stat. 41) is amended by striking ``Subject 
to'' and all that follows through ``System.''.
    (e) Buffer Zones.--Congress does not intend that the designation by 
this Act of wilderness areas in the State of Colorado creates or implies 
the creation of protective perimeters or buffer zones around any 
wilderness area. The fact that nonwilderness activities or uses can be 
seen or heard from within a wilderness area shall not, of itself, 
preclude such activities or uses up to the boundary of the wilderness 
area.
    (f) Wilderness Name Change.--The wilderness area designated as ``Big 
Blue Wilderness'' by section 102(a)(1) of Public Law 96-560, and the 
additions thereto made by paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 2(a) of this 
Act, shall hereafter be known as the Uncompahgre Wilderness. Any

of section 7 of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 
U.S.C. 4601-9), the boundaries of affected National Forests, as modified 
by this section, shall be considered to be the boundaries of such 
National Forests as of January 1, 1965.

    (3) Authorizations to use lands transferred by this section which 
were issued prior to the date of enactment of this Act shall remain 
subject to the laws and regulations under which they were issued, to the 
extent consistent with this Act. Such authorizations shall be 
administered by the Secretary of Agriculture. Any renewal or extension 
of such authorizations shall be subject to the laws and regulations 
pertaining to the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, and the 
applicable law, including this Act. The change of administrative 
jurisdiction resulting from the enactment of this section shall not in 
itself constitute a basis for denying or approving the renewal or 
reissuance of any such authorization.

SEC. 4. WILDERNESS RELEASE.

    (a) Repeal of Wilderness Study Provisions.--Sections 105 and 106 of 
the Act of December 22, 1980 (Public Law 96-560), are hereby repealed.

SEC. 7. OTHER LANDS.

    Nothing in this Act shall affect ownership or use of lands or 
interests therein not owned by the United States or access to such lands 
available under other applicable law.

SEC. 8. WATER.

    (a) Findings, Purpose, and Definition.--(1) Congress finds that--
        (A) the lands designated as wilderness by this Act are located 
    at the headwaters of the streams and rivers on those lands, with 
    few, if any, actual or proposed water resource facilities located 
    upstream from such lands and few, if any, opportunities for 
    diversion, storage, or other uses of water occurring outside such 
    lands that would adversely affect the wilderness values of such 
    lands; and
        (B) the lands designated as wilderness by this Act are not 
    suitable for use for development of new water resource facilities, 
    or for the expansion of existing facilities; and
        (C) therefore, it is possible to provide for proper management 
    and protection of the wilderness value of such lands in ways 
    different from those utilized in other legislation designating as 
    wilderness lands not sharing the attributes of the lands designated 
    as wilderness by this Act.
    (2) The purpose of this section is to protect the wilderness values 
of the lands designated as wilderness by this Act by means other than 
those based on a Federal reserved water right.
    (3) As used in this section, the term ``water resource facility'' 
means irrigation and pumping facilities, reservoirs, water conservation 
works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, pipelines, wells, hydropower 
projects, and transmission and other ancillary facilities, and other 
water diversion, storage, and carriage structures.
    (b) Restrictions on Rights and Disclaimer of Effect.--(1) Neither 
the Secretary of Agriculture nor the Secretary of the Interior, nor any 
other officer, employee, representative, or agent of the United States, 
nor any other person, shall assert in any court or agency, nor shall any 
court or agency consider, any claim to or for water or water rights in 
the State of Colorado, which is based on any construction of any portion 
of this Act, or the designation of any lands as wilderness by this Act, 
as constituting an express or implied reservation of water or water 
rights.
    (2)(A) Nothing in this Act shall constitute or be construed to 
constitute either an express or implied reservation of any water or 
water rights with respect to the Piedra, Roubideau, and Tabeguache areas 
identified in section 9 of this Act, or the Bowen Gulch Protection Area 
or the Fossil Ridge Recreation Management Area identified in sections 5 
and 6 of this Act.
    (B) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as a creation, 
recognition, disclaimer, relinquishment, or reduction of any water 
rights of the United States in the State of Colorado existing before the 
date of enactment of this Act, except as provided in subsection (g)(2) 
of this section.
    (C) Except as provided in subsection (g) of this section, nothing in 
this Act shall be construed as constituting an interpretation of any 
other Act or any designation made by or pursuant thereto.
    (D) Nothing in this section shall be construed as establishing a 
precedent with regard to any future wilderness designations.
    (c) New or Expanded Projects.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
of law, on and after the date of enactment of this Act neither the 
President nor any other officer, employee, or agent of the United States 
shall fund, assist, authorize, or issue a license or permit for the 
development of any new water resource facility within the areas 
described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 9 of this Act or the enlargement of 
any water resource facility within the areas described in sections 2, 5, 
6, and 9 of this Act.
    (d) Access and Operation.--(1) Subject to the provisions of this 
subsection (d), the Secretary shall allow reasonable access to water 
resource facilities in existence on the date of enactment of this Act 
within the areas described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 9 of this Act, 
including motorized access where necessary and customarily employed on 
routes existing as of the date of enactment of this Act.
    (2) Existing access routes within such areas customarily employed as 
of the date of enactment of this Act may be used, maintained, repaired, 
and replaced to the extent necessary to maintain their present function, 
design, and serviceable operation, so long as such activities have no 
increased adverse impacts on the resources and values of the areas 
described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 9 of this Act than existed as of the 
date of enactment of this Act.
    (3) Subject to the provisions of subsections (c) and (d), the 
Secretary shall allow water resource facilities existing on the date of 
enactment of this Act within areas described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 9 
of this Act to be used, operated, maintained, repaired, and replaced to 
the extent necessary for the continued exercise, in accordance with 
Colorado State law, of vested water rights adjudicated for use in 
connection with such facilities by a court of competent jurisdiction 
prior to the date of enactment of this Act: Provided, That the impact of 
an existing facility on the water resources and values of the area shall 
not be increased as a result of changes in the adjudicated type of use 
of such facility as of the date of enactment of this Act.
    (4) Water resource facilities, and access routes serving such 
facilities, existing within the areas described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 
9 of this Act on the date of enactment of this Act shall be maintained 
and repaired when and to the extent necessary to prevent increased 
adverse impacts on the resources and values of the areas described in 
sections 2, 5, 6, and 9 of this Act.
    (e) Existing Projects.--Except as provided in subsections (c) and 
(d) of this section, the provisions of this Act related to the areas 
described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 9 of this Act, and the inclusion in 
the National Wilderness Preservation System ofP the areas described in 
section 2 of this Act, shall not be construed to affect or limit the 
use, operation, maintenance, repair, modification, or replacement of 
water resources facilities in existence on the date of enactment of this 
Act within the boundaries of the areas described in sections 2, 5, 6, 
and 9 of this Act.
    (f) Monitoring and Implementation.--The Secretaries of Agriculture 
and the Interior shall monitor the operation of and access to water 
resource facilities within the areas described in sections 2, 5, 6, and 
9 of this Act and take all steps necessary to implement the provisions 
of this section.
    (g) Interstate Compacts and North Platte River.--(1) Nothing in this 
Act, and nothing in any previous Act designating any lands as 
wilderness, shall be construed as limiting, altering, modifying, or 
amending any of the interstate compacts or equitable apportionment 
decrees that apportion water among and between the State of Colorado and 
other States. Except as expressly provided in this section, nothing in 
this Act shall affect or limit the development or use by existing and 
future holders of vested water rights of Colorado's full apportionment 
of such waters.
    (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, neither the 
Secretary of Agriculture nor any other officer, employee, or agent of 
the United States, or any other person, shall assert in any court or 
agency of the United States or any other jurisdiction any rights, and no 
court or agency of the United States shall consider any claim or defense 
asserted by any person based upon such rights, which may be determined 
to have been established for waters of the North Platte River for 
purposes of the Platte River Wilderness Area established by Public Law 
98-550, located on the Colorado-Wyoming State boundary, to the extent 
such rights would limit the use or development of water within Colorado 
by present and future holders of vested water rights in the North Platte 
River and its tributaries, to the full extent allowed under interstate 
compact or United States Supreme Court equitable decree. Any such rights 
shall be exercised as if junior to, in a manner so as not to prevent, 
the use or development of Colorado's full entitlement to interstate 
waters of the North Platte River and its tributaries within Colorado 
allowed under interstate compact or United States Supreme Court 
equitable decree.
