SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Many areas of undeveloped National Forest System lands, 
        National Park System lands, and public lands administered by 
        the Bureau of Land Management in the States of Idaho, Montana, 
        Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming possess outstanding natural 
        characteristics which give them high values as wilderness, 
        parks, and wild and scenic rivers and will, if properly 
        preserved, be an enduring resource of wilderness, wild land 
        areas, and biodiversity for the benefit of the American people.
            (2) The Northern Rockies Bioregion contains the most 
        diverse array of wild lands remaining south of Canada, 
        providing sanctuary for a host of species listed as threatened 
        or endangered under section 4(c) of the Endangered Species Act 
        of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)). These national interest public 
        lands are among the most popular wild lands in the United 
        States, embracing greater ecosystems and national treasures 
        such as the Greater Yellowstone, Greater Glacier/Northern 
        Continental Divide, Greater Hells Canyon/Wallowa, Greater 
        Salmon/Selway, and Greater Cabinet/Yaak/Selkirk ecosystems.
            (3) The natural ecosystems in the Northern Rockies 
        Bioregion are largely dependent on National Forest System 
        lands, National Park System lands, and public lands 
        administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and the 
        ecological productivity and diversity of resources these 
        Federal public lands provide. Conservation of roadless areas on 
        these public lands, which produces clean water, protects native 
        fisheries and native flora and fauna, and provides scenic and 
        recreational qualities, also preserves options for sustainable 
        economics through activities such as hunting, fishing, and 
        wilderness-based recreation.
            (4) The headwaters of several major river systems, 
        including the Columbia, Snake, Green, Missouri and Saskatchewan 
        Rivers, originate in the Northern Rockies Bioregion, and these 
        rivers send their waters to three different oceans. These 
        waters are of tremendous economic importance to farming and 
        ranching operations, municipal water supplies, and water-based 
        recreation, including fishing and boating. Protection of this 
        world class water resource will enhance these uses, reduce 
        costs for water treatment and irrigation, and increase native 
        fish populations.
            (5) The wildlife treasures of the Northern Rockies are of 
        international significance and contain remarkably intact large 
        mammalian fauna and rare and unique plant life. Wildlife 
        habitat fragmentation due to roadbuilding, timber harvest, 
        mining, oil and gas exploration, lack of interagency 
        cooperation, and other activities has severe effects on the 
        wildlife populations (including those listed as threatened or 
        endangered under section 4(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 
        1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c))) and their habitat, the water quality, 
        the ancient forests, and the greater ecosystems of the Northern 
        Rockies Bioregion. The overemphasis on resource extraction from 
        National Forest System lands and public lands administered by 
        the Bureau of Land Management has compromised ecosystem 
        integrity and detracted from economic diversification 
        opportunities. Economic instability and high unemployment in 
        rural, resource-dependent communities is a common result of 
        overexploitation of these lands.
            (6) Continued fragmentation and development of the 
        remaining roadless and essentially roadless ecosystems and 
        biological connectors of the Northern Rockies would cause a 
        loss to the Nation of an entire wild land region and of the 
        only remaining areas south of Canada still pristine enough to 
        support populations of caribou, gray wolves, grizzly bears, 
        anadromous fish, and numerous other rare and endangered plant 
        and animal life all in one intact bioregion.
            (7) Since the 1936 roadless area inventory completed by Bob 
        Marshall, millions of acres of roadless wild lands have been 
        developed in the Northern Rockies. Extensive fragmentation of 
        wild lands and wildlife habitat has resulted in the listing of 
        several species as threatened or endangered and reduced the 
        numbers and range of many others, including anadromous fish.
            (8) The natural ecosystems of the Northern Rockies 
        Bioregion also serve as educational and research centers for 
        on-site studies in biology, geology, astronomy and other 
        sciences. The pristine nature of the National Forest System 
        lands, National Park System lands, and public lands 
        administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the Northern 
        Rockies Bioregion helps local communities attract new residents 
        and businesses based on local quality of life.
            (9) A review of the current situation in the Northern 
        Rockies has revealed the urgent need for an ecological reserve 
        system for the Northern Rockies Bioregion, which includes core 
        ecosystem reserve areas and biological connecting corridors 
        necessary to ensure wildlife movements and genetic interchange 
        between the core reserve areas.
            (10) The economic value to the Nation of most of these 
        undeveloped areas, left in their natural state, greatly exceeds 
        any potential return to the Treasury of the United States from 
        timber harvest and development. If current Federal land 
        management in the Northern Rockies continues to result in the 
        development of roadless areas, the American public will be 
        using its tax dollars to fund permanent reductions in 
        wilderness, water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, and 
        species and biological diversity.
            (11) Instead, this Act provides opportunities for 
        employment in outdoor trades by establishing rehabilitation 
        zones on specific tracts of damaged Federal land where active 
        restoration work will occur. This Act will provide contracts 
        for local businesses and renew the intrinsic economic, social 
        and cultural benefits that result from productive land. Federal 
        land rehabilitation projects represent a direct benefit to the 
        local economy and reduce the loss to American taxpayers caused 
        by below-cost timber sales and other subsidized resource 
        extraction.
            (12) The congressional review of roadless areas within the 
        National Forest System, National Park System, and public lands 
        administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the States of 
        Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming has identified 
        areas which, on the basis of their land form, ecosystem, 
        associated fish and wildlife, economic value, and location will 
        help to fulfill the role of the United States Forest Service, 
        National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management to ensure 
        a quality National Wilderness Preservation System. The review 
        has identified other areas which may have outstanding values as 
        wild and scenic rivers. The review has also identified areas 
        which may not possess outstanding wilderness attributes and 
        should not now be designated as components of the National 
        Wilderness Preservation System, but which should be studied to 
        determine their role in maintaining biological diversity in the 
        Northern Rockies.
            (13) Many areas of National Forest System lands and public 
        lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management have been 
        damaged and their productivity reduced by unwise development 
        practices, which have also impaired ecosystem function and 
        biological diversity. The Island Park area adjacent to 
        Yellowstone National Park contains large clear-cut areas right 
        up to the park boundary. Efforts should be made to return these 
        areas to their former ecological health and native diversity by 
        designating them as components of a new National Wildland 
        Restoration and Recovery System. These efforts should seek to 
        ensure that vital ecosystem components are restored, especially 
        in areas where wildlife travel corridors and native fish and 
        wildlife populations have been damaged or eliminated. 
        Restoration efforts should seek to ensure and maintain genetic 
        interchange, biological diversity, and restoration of native 
        species diversity throughout the Northern Rockies Bioregion.
            (14) Backcountry areas of the National Park System have 
        been damaged by inappropriate management, despite policies that 
        require that recommended wilderness be administered as 
        wilderness. An emphasis on structures and motorized equipment, 
        and in some instances developed ``backcountry'' campsites, have 
        all detracted from and degraded the wilderness character of 
        these backcountry areas.
            (15) Federal agencies entrusted with managing the natural 
        resources of the Northern Rockies Bioregion operate under 
        contradictory congressional mandates, and thus are in 
        dissension over management policies which involve common 
        resources and greater ecosystems. Existing agency structures 
        and regulatory mechanisms have proven unsatisfactory for 
        responsible management of nationally important ecosystems on 
        public lands. Existing laws and regulations have not been 
        sufficient to establish and maintain agency accountability for 
        public resources.
            (16) This Act does not affect private existing rights.

SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

    For purposes of this Act:
            (1) Development.--The term ``development'' means activities 
        that eliminate the roadless and wilderness characteristics of 
        the land and includes ski resort facilities and such activities 
        as roadbuilding, timber harvest, mining, and oil and gas 
        drilling.
            (2) Greater ecosystem.--The term ``greater ecosystem'', 
        when used in conjunction with the specific ecosystems protected 
        under this Act, means the ecological land units of sufficient 
        scale to support and maintain populations of large vertebrate 
        species and the other native plant and animal species of the 
        units. These units are comprised of lands which are similar in 
        regards to topography, climate, and plant and animal species. 
        The ecosystems in the Northern Rockies are also defined in 
        terms of the habitat of wildlife indicator species listed as 
        threatened or endangered under section 4(c) of the Endangered 
        Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)), including grizzly 
        bear, gray wolf, bald eagle, and caribou, and have been 
        depicted on maps published by Federal agencies.
            (3) Northern rockies bioregion.--The term ``Northern 
        Rockies Bioregion'' means the portion of the Northern Rocky 
        Mountains in the States of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, and

                   TITLE I--DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS

SEC. 101. DESIGNATION OF CERTAIN NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM LANDS, NATIONAL 
              PARK SYSTEM LANDS, AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT LANDS AS 
              WILDERNESS.

    In furtherance of the purpose of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 
et seq.), certain National Forest System lands, National Park System 
lands, and public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, 
as described in this title, in the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, 
Washington, and Wyoming are designated as wilderness and, therefore, as 
components of the National Wilderness Preservation System.

SEC. 102. GREATER GLACIER/NORTHERN CONTINENTAL DIVIDE ECOSYSTEM.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The core of the Greater Glacier/Northern Continental 
        Divide ecosystem region is Glacier National Park and the Bob 
        Marshall Wilderness, which was the first wilderness designated 
        in the United States.
            (2) This ecosystem includes unique lands, such as the Rocky 
        Mountain Front, where grizzlies still roam the prairies and 
        America's largest herd of bighorn sheep scales the craggy 
        peaks.
            (3) The Swan and Mission mountain ranges contain some of 
        Montana's largest old growth forests and pristine bull trout 
        and westslope cutthroat trout spawning runs.
            (4) The Rocky Mountain Gray Wolf is making a comeback in 
        this ecosystem, and the ecosystem is home to one of only two 
        relatively large grizzly populations in the lower 48 States.
    (b) Designation.--In order to protect the unique Greater Glacier/
Northern Continental Divide ecosystem, the areas described in this 
section, which together comprise approximately 2,155,433 acres, as 
generally depicted on maps with titles corresponding to each area and 
dated ____, are hereby designated as wilderness. The land designated as 
wilderness by this section shall be incorporated into the wilderness 
indicated or, in the case of wilderness designated by subsection (h), 
shall be known by the name given the wilderness in that subsection. 
Each map shall be on file and available for public inspection in the 
Office of the Chief of the Forest Service, the Office of the Director 
of the Bureau of Land Management, or the Office of the Director of the 
National Park Service.

               TITLE II--BIOLOGICAL CONNECTING CORRIDORS

SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The most recent scientific information on ecological 
        reserve design and function, including recent scientific 
        information on species dispersal in response to a changing 
        climate, points out the critical need for biological connecting 
        corridors between the larger core ecosystem areas.
            (2) While none of the remaining major wild land ecosystems 
        of the Northern Rockies Bioregion appears to be of sufficient 
        size to perpetuate the full complement of self-sustaining 
        viable populations of native wildlife, biological diversity, 
        and full range of ecological processes on its own, it appears 
        that an effective reserve system can be achieved if biological 
        connecting corridors between the ecosystems are identified and 
        protected.
            (3) The wild land areas addressed by this title are located 
        between the major core ecosystems of the region and are 
        essential for wildlife and plant migration and genetic 
        interchange.
            (4) These areas are some of the most beautiful and wild 
        mountain ranges in the United States, including the Bitterroot, 
        Sapphire, Lost River, Lemhi, and Bridger mountain ranges.

      TITLE IV--NATIONAL WILDLAND RESTORATION AND RECOVERY SYSTEM

SEC. 401. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Certain National Forest System lands and surrounding 
        areas have been damaged by unwise resource extraction and 
        development activities and practices, and the productive 
        potential of the lands and waters of these areas, including the 
        potential for the dispersal of species in response to climate 
        change, has been reduced by development activities.
            (2) Recovery activities are required to reverse severe 
        damage to native fish and wildlife populations and water 
        quality in these areas and to facilitate the dispersal of 
        species in response to climate change.
            (3) Recovery work associated with these areas will create 
        new job opportunities for local communities, assist in the 
        economic transition ongoing in the region, and contribute to 
        the economic sustainability of these rural areas by restoring 
        the productive capability of the land.

SEC. 402. DEFINITIONS.

    In this title:
            (1) Recovery.--The term ``recovery'' means the restoration 
        of lands damaged by land management activities to a natural 
        untrammeled condition and the restoration of the undeveloped 
        roadless character of such land.
            (2) Recovery system.--The term ``Recovery System'' means 
        the National Wildland Restoration and Recovery System.

SEC. 403. NATIONAL WILDLAND RESTORATION AND RECOVERY SYSTEM.

SEC. 404. MANAGEMENT OF RECOVERY SYSTEM.

    (a) Management During Recovery.--
            (1) Restoration.--All lands within the Recovery System 
        shall be managed so as to restore their native vegetative cover 
        and reduce or eliminate invasive non-native species, facilitate 
        native species diversity to the extent possible with climate 
        change, stabilize slopes and soils to prevent or reduce further 
        erosion, recontour slopes to their original contours, remove 
        barriers to natural fish spawning runs, and generally restore 
        such lands in their entirety to a natural roadless and wild 
        condition.
            (2) Water quality restoration.--In the management of the 
        Recovery System, special consideration shall be given to 
        restoration of water quality in the Recovery System.
            (3) Management methods.--Recovery System lands shall be 
        managed using methods such as road obliteration, planting of 
        trees and other vegetation native to the lands, and removal by 
        heavy equipment of sediment from streambeds. Existing methods 
        developed by the Forest Service, the National Park Service, and 
        other persons shall be considered and, when appropriate, 
        applied to the lands within the Recovery System. To the extent 
        practicable, the Secretary of Agriculture shall carry out this 
        section using existing, available equipment. When renting or 
        leasing heavy equipment necessary for recovery efforts pursuant 
        to this section, the Secretary shall use local contractors to 
        the extent practicable.
    (b) Post Recovery Management.--When recovery is achieved for a 
component of the Recovery System, the Forest Service shall evaluate the 
suitability of such component for inclusion in the National Wilderness 
Preservation System or for other uses consistent with the purposes of 
this Act. The Forest Service shall make a recommendation concerning the 
future management status of the component, and shall submit the 
recommendation and an evaluation to the Congress. The evaluation shall 
be conducted in the same manner as, and subject to the same 
requirements that apply to, the preparation of an environmental impact 
statement under section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)). The evaluation shall include 
documentation of the component's values as wilderness and as wildlife 
habitat, its role in maintaining water quality and native biodiversity, 
its role in the forest reserve system, a list of alternative 
designations for the component consistent with the purposes of this 
Act, and a roadless inventory for the component. No provision of this 
subsection shall be construed to diminish the responsibilities of the 
Secretary of Agriculture with respect to land and resource management 
plans under section 6 of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources 
Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1604).

SEC. 405. NATIONAL WILDLAND RECOVERY CORPS.

    (a) Establishment.--There is hereby established a special unit of 
the Forest Service, to be known as the National Wildland Recovery 
Corps. The National Wildland Recovery Corps shall hire the necessary 
personnel and purchase the necessary equipment to carry out its land 
recovery responsibilities under this title.
    (b) Recovery Plans.--Not later than three years after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the National Wildland Recovery Corps shall 
develop a wildland recovery plan for each area of the Recovery System. 
Each recovery plan shall detail necessary work and funding requirements 
needed to implement the management direction established under section 
404. Each recovery plan shall take into account the specific conditions 
of an area in the Recovery System, including soil type, slope, native 
species composition, road densities, forest cover, the number of road 
crossings and culverts, and when possible, predevelopment conditions. 
Each recovery plan shall set forth definite timelines for expected 
recovery of the area to which the plan applies, including a list of 
management activities planned each year, with projected dates for 
recovery. Each recovery plan shall map out the portion, within the area 
of the Recovery System to which the plan applies, which will be 
recovered using active management efforts, as well as the portion of 
such area in which natural recovery will occur. Upon completion, a 
recovery plan shall become an amendment to the land and resource 
management plan for the unit of the National Forest System to which the 
plan applies.
    (c) Evaluation.--The National Wildland Recovery Corps shall use 
measurable criteria to judge the success of recovery efforts taken 
pursuant to this section. Such criteria shall include the results of 
sediment monitoring, reductions in open and total road densities, 
percent forest cover, increase in stream mileage available to native 
fish migrations, the results of hydrological measurements to determine 
water flow rates for key watersheds, and the abundance of management 
indicator species that are indicative of ecosystem health.

required by this Act.
    (b) Geographic Information System.--
            (1) Development.--The interagency team shall develop a 
        geographic information system for monitoring the Northern 
        Rockies Bioregion. The geographic information system shall be 
        based on satellite-gathered data and shall include 
        comprehensive maps and databases to assist in the detection of 
        changes in the Northern Rockies Bioregion.
            (2) Types of information.--The maps and databases included 
        in the geographic information system shall be updated 
        periodically to record the following:
                    (A) Vegetation cover (with species occurrence and 
                densities).
                    (B) Human impacts.
                    (C) Water and air quality.
                    (D) Activities that bear on forest husbandry and 
                restoration.
            (3) Status reports.--The geographic information system 
        shall include status reports on the progress of ecosystem 
        protection, corridor consolidation, and forest recovery efforts 
        and reports on the status of threatened and endangered species 
        which are primary indicators of ecosystem health.
    (c) Wildlife Movements.--The interagency team shall assess the 
potential for facilitating wildlife movements across or under major 
highways and rail lines within the biological corridors established in 
title II. This assessment shall identify major crossing points and 
identify possible management actions to enhance the suitability of such 
crossing points as movement corridors, including underpasses, 
overpasses, and other methods for reducing the danger to native 
wildlife while facilitating movements within the Northern Rockies 
Bioregion.

SEC. 503. ROADLESS LANDS EVALUATION.

    (a) Evaluation Required.--Roadless lands greater than 1,000 acres 
in size, that are located within the National Forest System in the 
State of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, or Wyoming and that are 
not designated as components of the National Wilderness Preservation 
System (under this Act or any other law) shall be identified and 
evaluated by the panel of independent scientists appointed under 
section 501. In identifying and evaluating these lands, the panel shall 
make use of existing satellite information and Geographic Information 
System data developed by the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land 
Management, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, in 
addition to other information sources. The panel shall study the role 
of such lands in maintaining biological diversity in the Northern 
Rockies and as part of the overall forest reserve system. The panel 
shall make recommendations regarding the management of the lands, and 
shall include the recommendations in the report required by section 
501.
    (b) Prohibition.--Until the Congress enacts a law stating 
otherwise, no new road construction or reconstruction, or timber 
harvest (except firewood gathering) shall be allowed in the lands 
described in subsection (a). Additionally, no oil or gas leasing, 
mining, or other development which impairs the natural and roadless 
qualities of these lands shall be allowed on the lands.

SEC. 504. NATIVE AMERICAN USES.

    (a) Definition.--For purposes of this section and section 505, the 
term ``protected areas'' means land designated by this Act as 
wilderness, wildland recovery areas, wild and scenic rivers, and 
biological corridors.
    (b) Nonexclusive Access.--In recognition of the past use of 
portions of the protected areas by Native Americans for traditional 
cultural and religious purposes, the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
Secretary of the Interior shall ensure nonexclusive access to these 
protected areas by native people for such traditional cultural and 
religious purposes. Such access shall be consistent with the purpose 
and intent of Public Law 95-341 (42 U.S.C. 1996; commonly known as the 
American Indian Religious Freedom Act), and, in the case of land 
designated as wilderness by this Act, the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 
1121 et seq.). The Secretaries, in accordance with such laws, upon 
request of an Indian tribe, may from time-to-time temporarily close to 
the general public use of one or more specific portions of these 
protected areas in order to protect the privacy of religious activities 
and cultural uses in such portions by an Indian people. As part of the 
preparation of general management plans for the protected areas, the 
Secretaries shall request that the chief executive officers of 
appropriate Indian tribes make recommendations with respect to assuring 
access to important sites, enhancing the privacy of traditional 
cultural and religious activities, and protecting cultural and 
religious sites.
    (c) Cooperative Agreement.--The Forest Service and Bureau of Land 
Management shall enter into cooperative management agreements with the 
appropriate Indian tribes to assure protection of religious, burial, 
and gathering sites in the protected areas, and shall work 
cooperatively on the management of all uses in the protected areas that 
impact Indian lands and people.
