TITLE III--BLACK ROCK DESERT-HIGH ROCK CANYON EMIGRANT TRAILS NATIONAL 
                           CONSERVATION AREA

SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon 
Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area Act of 2000''.

SEC. 302. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The areas of northwestern Nevada known as the Black 
        Rock Desert and High Rock Canyon contain and surround the last 
        nationally significant, untouched segments of the historic 
        California emigrant trails, including wagon ruts, historic 
        inscriptions, and a wilderness landscape largely unchanged 
        since the days of the pioneers.
            (2) The relative absence of development in the Black Rock 
        Desert and High Rock Canyon areas from emigrant times to the 
        present day offers a unique opportunity to capture the terrain, 
        sights, and conditions of the overland trails as they were 
        experienced by the emigrants and to make available to both 
        present and future generations of Americans the opportunity of 
        experiencing emigrant conditions in an unaltered setting.
            (3) The Black Rock Desert and High Rock Canyon areas are 
        unique segments of the Northern Great Basin and contain broad 
        representation of the Great Basin's land forms and plant and 
        animal species, including golden eagles and other birds of 
        prey, sage grouse, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn 
        sheep, free roaming horses and burros, threatened fish and 
        sensitive plants.
            (4) The Black Rock-High Rock region contains a number of 
        cultural and natural resources that have been declared eligible 
        for National Historic Landmark and Natural Landmark status, 
        including a portion of the 1843-44 John Charles Fremont 
        exploration route, the site of the death of Peter Lassen, early 
        military facilities, and examples of early homesteading and 
        mining.
            (5) The archeological, paleontological, and geographical 
        resources of the Black Rock-High Rock region include numerous 
        prehistoric and historic Native American sites, wooly mammoth 
        sites, some of the largest natural potholes of North America, 
        and a remnant dry Pleistocene lakebed (playa) where the 
        curvature of the Earth may be observed.
            (6) The two large wilderness mosaics that frame the 
        conservation area offer exceptional opportunities for solitude 
        and serve to protect the integrity of the viewshed of the 
        historic emigrant trails.
            (7) Public lands in the conservation area have been used 
        for domestic livestock grazing for over a century, with 
        resultant benefits to community stability and contributions to 
        the local and State economies. It has not been demonstrated 
        that continuation of this use would be incompatible with 
        appropriate protection and sound management of the resource 
        values of these lands; therefore, it is expected that such 
        grazing will continue in accordance with the management plan 
        for the conservation area and other applicable laws and 
        regulations.
            (8) The Black Rock Desert playa is a unique natural 
        resource that serves as the primary destination for the 
        majority of visitors to the conservation area, including 
        visitors associated with large-scale permitted events. It is 
        expected that such permitted events will continue to be 
        administered in accordance with the management plan for the 
        conservation area and other applicable laws and regulations.

    The Congress does not intend for the establishment of the 
conservation area to lead to the creation of protective perimeters or 
buffer zones around the conservation area. The fact that there may be 
activities or uses on lands outside the conservation area that would 
not be permitted in the conservation area shall not preclude such 
activities or uses on such lands up to the boundary of the conservation 
area consistent with other applicable laws.

        generations the outstanding resources and values of Saint 
        Helena Island in Lake Michigan, Michigan; and
            (2) to provide for the conservation, protection, and

    (b) Boundaries of Hiawatha National Forest Extended.--Upon 
establishment of the scenic area, the boundaries of the Hiawatha 
National Forest shall be extended to include all of the lands within 
the scenic area. All such extended boundaries shall be deemed

``Secretary'') shall administer the scenic area in accordance with the 
laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the National Forest System 
in furtherance of the purposes of this title.
    (b) Special Management Requirements.--Within 3 years of the 
acquisition of 50 percent of the land authorized for acquisition under 
section 407, the Secretary shall develop an amendment to the land and 
resources management plan for the Hiawatha National Forest which will 
direct management of the scenic area. Such an amendment shall conform

the Secretary to revise the land and resource management plan for the

developing a plan for management of the scenic area, the Secretary 
shall address the following special management considerations:
            (1) Public access.--Alternative means for providing public 
        access from the mainland to the scenic area shall be 
        considered, including any available existing services and

        allowed within the scenic area, except as may be necessary in 
        the control of fire, insects, and diseases, and to provide for 
        public safety and trail access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
        the Secretary may engage in vegetation manipulation practices 
        for maintenance of wildlife habitat and visual quality. Trees 
        cut for these purposes may be utilized, salvaged, or removed 
        from the scenic area as authorized by the Secretary.
            (4) Motorized travel.--Motorized travel shall not be 
        permitted within the scenic area, except on the waters of Lake 
        Michigan, and as necessary for administrative use in 
        furtherance of the purposes of this title.
            (5) Fire.--Wildfires shall be suppressed in a manner 
        consistent with the purposes of this title, using such means as 
        the Secretary deems appropriate.
            (6) Insects and disease.--Insect and disease outbreaks may 
        be controlled in the scenic area to maintain scenic quality, 
        prevent tree mortality, or to reduce hazards to visitors.
            (7) Dockage.--The Secretary shall provide through 
        concession, permit, or other means docking facilities 
        consistent with the management plan developed pursuant to this 
        section.
            (8) Safety.--The Secretary shall take reasonable actions to 
        provide for public health and safety and for the protection of 
        the scenic area in the event of fire or infestation of insects 
        or disease.
    (c) Consultation.--In preparing the management plan, the Secretary 
shall consult with appropriate State and local government officials, 
provide for full public participation, and consider the views of all 
interested parties, organizations, and individuals.

SEC. 405. FISH AND GAME.

    Nothing in this title shall be construed as affecting the 
jurisdiction or responsibilities of the State of Michigan with respect 
to fish and wildlife in the scenic area.

SEC. 406. MINERALS.

    Subject to valid existing rights, the lands within the scenic area 
are hereby withdrawn from disposition under all laws pertaining to 
mineral leasing, including all laws pertaining to geothermal leasing. 
Also subject to valid existing rights, the Secretary shall not allow 
any mineral development on federally owned land within the scenic area, 
except that common varieties of mineral materials, such as stone and 
gravel, may be utilized only as authorized by the Secretary to the 
extent necessary for construction and maintenance of roads and 
facilities within the scenic area.

SEC. 407. ACQUISITION.

    (a) Acquisition of Lands Within the Scenic Area.--The Secretary

purchase from willing sellers, gift, or exchange, not more than 10 
acres of land, including any improvements thereon, on the mainland to

appropriated such sums as may be necessary for the acquisition of land, 
interests in land, or structures within the scenic area and on the 
mainland as provided in section 407.
    (b) Other Purposes.--In addition to the amounts authorized to be
