facilities and no opportunities for diversion, storage,
or other uses of water occurring outside the land
designated as wilderness that would adversely affect
the wilderness or other values of the land; and
(F) because of the unique nature and hydrology of
the desert land designated as wilderness and the
existence of the Virgin River Resource Management and
Recovery Program, it is possible to provide for proper
management and protection of the wilderness, perennial
springs and other values of the land in ways not used
in other legislation.

in order to obtain and hold any water rights not in existence

any public land in the County administered by the Bureau of Land
Management in the wilderness study areas that is not designated as

Appendix B of House Report 101-405, including the occasional and
temporary use of motorized vehicles, if such use, as determined by the
Secretary, would promote healthy, viable, and more naturally
distributed wildlife populations that would enhance wilderness values
and accomplish those purposes with the minimum impact necessary to
reasonably accomplish the task.
(c) Existing Activities.--Consistent with section 4(d)(1) of the
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)) and in accordance with appropriate
policies such as those set forth in Appendix B of House Report 101-405,
