Sec. 460y-1. Management of lands
(a) Utilization and development of resources
In the management of lands in the area, the Secretary shall utilize
and develop the resources in such a manner as to satisfy all legitimate
requirements for the available resources as fully as possible without
undue denial of any of such requirements and without undue impairment of
any of the resources, taking into consideration total requirement and
total availability of resources, irrespective of ownership or location.
(b) Plan of land use, development, and management
The policy set forth in subsection (a) of this section implies--
(1) that there will be a comprehensive, balanced, and
coordinated plan of land use, development, and management of the
Area, and that such plan will be based on an inventory and
evaluation of the available resources and requirements for such
resources, and on the topography and other features of the Area.
(2) that the plan will indicate the primary or dominant uses
which will be permitted on various portions of the Area.
(3) that the plan will be based on a weighing of the relative
values to be obtained by utilization and development of the
resources for alternative possible uses, and will be made with the
object of obtaining the greatest values on a continuing basis, and
that due consideration will be given to intangible values as well as
to tangible values such as dollar return or production per unit.
(4) that secondary or collateral uses may be permitted to the
extent that such uses are compatible with and do not unduly impair
the primary or dominant uses, according to a seasonal schedule or
otherwise.
(5) that management of the renewable resources will be such as
to obtain a sustained, regular, or periodic yield or supply of
products or services without impairment of the productivity, or the
enjoyment or carrying capacity of the land.
(6) that the plan will be reviewed and reevaluated periodically.
(7) that the resources to be considered are all the natural
resources including but not limited to the soils, bodies of water
including the shorelines thereof, forest growth including timber,
vegetative cover including forage, fish, and other wildlife, and
geological resources including minerals.
(8) that the uses to be considered are all of the legitimate
uses of such resources including but not limited to all forms of
outdoor recreation including scenic enjoyment, hunting, fishing,
hiking, riding, camping, picknicking,\1\ boating, and swimming, all
uses of water resources, watershed management, production of timber
and other forest producers, grazing and other agricultural uses,
fish and wildlife management, mining, preservation of ecological
balance, scientific study, occupancy and access.
