TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
SUBCHAPTER CXII--GRAND ISLAND NATIONAL RECREATION AREA
Sec. 460aaa-6. Management plan
(a) Development
After the Secretary acquires fee title to at least 10,000 acres of
land on Grand Island, the Secretary, within 30 months, shall develop
with public involvement a comprehensive management plan for the national
recreation area which implements the provisions of this subchapter.
(b) Special issues to be included
The comprehensive management plan shall include, but not be limited
to, the following issues:
(1) Public recreation, including consideration of a range of
appropriate recreational opportunities consistent with the rustic,
natural, and historic character of the island, including, but not
limited to, a system of trails and campsites in conjunction with the
lodge referred to in paragraph (2) of this section.\1\

\1\ So in original. Probably should be ``subsection.''

(2) The feasibility of a concessionaire constructed, operated,
and maintained rustic lodge and educational facility on no more than
55 acres located so as not to impair or alter existing scenic views
or the existing tree line and forested appearance of Grand Island
from any point within the boundaries of Pictured Rocks National
Lakeshore. The plan shall address the economics of constructing,
operating, and maintaining such a facility by a concessionaire or
other entity; access by roads and waters; utilities; waste water
treatment, garbage disposal, and other associated environmental
impacts; management operations including construction, operation and
maintenance; and the potential for permitted uses by government
agencies, profit and nonprofit organizations, or individuals.
(3) Prescriptions concerning any management and harvest of
timber, subject to section 460aaa-2(b)(4) of this title.
(4) General design criteria for new facilities or the
improvement of existing facilities that are compatible with the
rustic, natural, and historic character of the island and their
topographic and geological location, and that do not impair scenic
views from the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
(5) Water transportation from the mainland to the national
recreation area by a concessionaire or other entity.
(6) The feasibility of concessionaire constructed, operated, and
maintained docking facilities in the national recreation area and on
the mainland.
(7) An inventory and assessment of existing traditional roads,
the level of road use, access needs, and any vehicular regulation
and management needed to protect the resources of the national
recreation area while, at the same time, providing reasonable access
to private property.
(c) Consultation
In preparing the comprehensive management plan, the Secretary shall
consult with the appropriate State and local government officials,
provide for full public participation, and consider the views of all
interested parties, organizations, and individuals.
