The lands within the recreation area, subject to valid existing

regulations as he deems appropriate, may permit the removal of the
nonleasable minerals from lands or interests in lands within the
recreation area in the manner prescribed by section 387 of title 43, and
he may permit the removal of leasable minerals from lands or interests
in lands within the recreation area in accordance with the Mineral
Leasing Act of February 24, 1920,\1\ as amended [30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.],
or the Acquired Lands Mineral Leasing Act of August 7, 1947 [30 U.S.C.
351 et seq.], if he finds that such disposition would not have
significant adverse effects on the purposes of the Colorado River
storage project and the Secretary of Agriculture finds that such
disposition would not have significant adverse effects on the purposes
of the recreation area: Provided, That any lease or permit respecting
such minerals in the recreation area shall be issued only with the
consent of the Secretary of Agriculture and subject to such conditions
as he may prescribe.

All receipts derived from permits and leases issued under the
authority of this section for removal of nonleasable minerals shall be
paid into the same funds or accounts in the Treasury of the United

leases issued on lands in the recreation area under the Mineral Leasing
Act of February 25, 1920, as amended, or the Act of August 7, 1947,
shall be disposed of as provided in the applicable Act.
