In the Senate of the United States,

June 30 (legislative day, June 19), 1995.

Resolved, That the bill from the House of Representatives (H.R. 400) entitled ‘‘An Act to provide for the exchange

of lands within Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and for other purposes’’, do pass with the following

AMENDMENT:

Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

1 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

2 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Anaktuvuk Pass Land

3 Exchange and Wilderness Redesignation Act of 1995’’.

4 TITLE I—ANAKTUVUK PASS LAND EX5 CHANGE AND WILDERNESS REDESIG6 NATION

7 SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

8 The Congress makes the following findings:

9 (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Con10 servation Act (94 Stat. 2371), enacted on December 2,

11 1980, established Gates of the Arctic National Park
2

HR 400 EAS

1 and Preserve and Gates of the Arctic Wilderness. The

2 village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in the highlands of

3 the central Brooks Range, is virtually surrounded by

4 these national park and wilderness lands and is the

5 only Native village located within the boundary of a

6 National Park System unit in Alaska.

7 (2) Unlike most other Alaskan Native commu8 nities, the village of Anaktuvuk Pass is not located on

9 a major river, lake, or coastline that can be used as

10 a means of access. The residents of Anaktuvuk Pass

11 have relied increasingly on snow machines in winter

12 and all-terrain vehicles in summer as their primary

13 means of access to pursue caribou and other subsist14 ence resources.

15 (3) In a 1983 land exchange agreement, linear

16 easements were reserved by the Inupiat Eskimo people

17 for use of all-terrain vehicles across certain national

18 park lands, mostly along stream and river banks.

19 These linear easements proved unsatisfactory, because

20 they provided inadequate access to subsistence re21 sources while causing excessive environmental impact

22 from concentrated use.

23 (4) The National Park Service and the

24 Nunamiut Corporation initiated discussions in 1985

25 to address concerns over the use of all-terrain vehicles
3

HR 400 EAS

1 on park and wilderness land. These discussions re2 sulted in an agreement, originally executed in 1992

3 and thereafter amended in 1993 and 1994, among the

4 National Park Service, Nunamiut Corporation, the

5 City of Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic Slope Regional

6 Corporation. Full effectuation of this agreement, as

7 amended, by its terms requires ratification by the

8 Congress.

3 TITLE III—STERLING FOREST

4 SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

5 This title may be cited as the ‘‘Sterling Forest Protec6 tion Act of 1995’’.

7 SEC. 302. FINDINGS.

8 The Congress finds that—

9 (1) the Palisades Interstate Park Commission

10 was established pursuant to a joint resolution of the

11 75th Congress approved in 1937 (Public Resolution

12 No. 65; ch. 706; 50 Stat. 719), and chapter 170 of the

13 Laws of 1937 of the State of New York and chapter

14 148 of the Laws of 1937 of the State of New Jersey;

15 (2) the Palisades Interstate Park Commission is

16 responsible for the management of 23 parks and his17 toric sites in New York and New Jersey, comprising

18 over 82,000 acres;

19 (3) over 8,000,000 visitors annually seek outdoor

20 recreational opportunities within the Palisades Park

21 System;

22 (4) Sterling Forest is a biologically diverse open

23 space on the New Jersey border comprising approxi24 mately 17,500 acres, and is a highly significant wa25 tershed area for the State of New Jersey, providing
16

HR 400 EAS

1 the source for clean drinking water for 25 percent of

2 the State;

3 (5) Sterling Forest is an important outdoor rec4 reational asset in the northeastern United States,

5 within the most densely populated metropolitan re6 gion in the Nation;

7 (6) Sterling Forest supports a mixture of hard8 wood forests, wetlands, lakes, glaciated valleys, is

9 strategically located on a wildlife migratory route,

10 and provides important habitat for 27 rare or endan11 gered species;

12 (7) the protection of Sterling Forest would great13 ly enhance the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, a

14 portion of which passes through Sterling Forest, and

15 would provide for enhanced recreational opportunities

16 through the protection of lands which are an integral

17 element of the trail and which would protect impor18 tant trail viewsheds;

19 (8) stewardship and management costs for units

20 of the Palisades Park System are paid for by the

21 States of New York and New Jersey; thus, the protec22 tion of Sterling Forest through the Palisades Inter23 state Park Commission will involve a minimum of

24 Federal funds;
17

HR 400 EAS

1 (9) given the nationally significant watershed,

2 outdoor recreational, and wildlife qualities of Sterling

3 Forest, the demand for open space in the northeastern

4 United States, and the lack of open space in the

5 densely populated tri-state region, there is a clear

6 Federal interest in acquiring the Sterling Forest for

7 permanent protection of the watershed, outdoor rec8 reational resources, flora and fauna, and open space;

9 and

10 (10) such an acquisition would represent a cost

11 effective investment, as compared with the costs that

12 would be incurred to protect drinking water for the

13 region should the Sterling Forest be developed.

14 SEC. 303. PURPOSES.

15 The purposes of this title are—

16 (1) to establish the Sterling Forest Reserve in the

17 State of New York to protect the significant water18 shed, wildlife, and recreational resources within the

20 (2) to authorize Federal funding, through the De21 partment of the Interior, for a portion of the acquisi22 tion costs for the Sterling Forest Reserve;

23 (3) to direct the Palisades Interstate Park Com24 mission to convey to the Secretary of the Interior cer-
