SEC. 404. PETROGLYPH NATIONAL MONUMENT. (a)
SHORT
TITLE.—This section may be cited as the
‘‘Petroglyph National Monument Boundary Adjustment
Act’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the purposes for which Petroglyph National
Monument (referred to in this section as ‘‘the monu-
ment’’) was established continue to be valid;
(2) it is of mutual benefit to the trustee institu-
tions of the New Mexico State Trust lands and the
National Park Service for land exchange negotiations
to be completed with all due diligence, resulting in the
transfer of all State Trust lands within the bound-
HR 3579 EAS
aries of the monument to the United States in accord-
ance with State and Federal law;
(3) because the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
has acquired substantial acreage within the monu-
ment boundaries, purchased with State and munici-
pal funds, the consolidation of land ownership and
jurisdiction under the National Park Service will re-
quire the consent of the city of Albuquerque, and op-
tions for National Park Service acquisition that are
not currently available;
(4) corridors for the development of Paseo del
Norte and Unser Boulevard are depicted on the map
referred to in section 102(a) of the Petroglyph Na-
tional Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public
Law 101–313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note), and the align-
ment of the roadways was anticipated by Congress be-
fore the date of enactment of the Act;
(5) it was the expectation of the principal pro-
ponents of the monument, including the cities of Albu-
querque and Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and the Na-
tional Park Service, that passage of the Petroglyph
National Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Pub-
lic Law 101–313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note) would allow
the city of Albuquerque—
HR 3579 EAS
(A) to utilize the Paseo del Norte and Unser
Boulevard corridors through the monument; and
(B) to design and construct infrastructure
within the corridors with the cultural and natu-
ral resources of the monument in mind;
(6) the city of Albuquerque has not provided for
the establishment of rights-of-way for the Paseo del
Norte and Unser Boulevard corridors under the Joint
Powers Agreement (JPANO 78–521.81–277A), which
expanded the boundary of the monument to include
the Piedras Marcadas and Boca Negra units, pursu-
ant to section 104 of the Petroglyph National Monu-
ment Establishment Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–
313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note);
(7) the National Park Service has identified the
realignment of Unser Boulevard, depicted on the map
referred to in section 102(a) of the Petroglyph Na-
tional Monument Establishment Act of 1990 (Public
Law 101–313; 16 U.S.C. 431 note), as serving a park
purpose in the General Management Plan/Develop-
ment Concept Plan for Petroglyph National Monu-
ment;
(8) the establishment of a citizens’ advisory com-
mittee prior to construction of the Unser Boulevard
South project, which runs along the eastern boundary
HR 3579 EAS
of the Atrisco Unit of the monument, allowed the citi-
zens of Albuquerque and the National Park Service to
provide significant and meaningful input into the
parkway design of the road, and that similar proceed-
ings should occur prior to construction within the
Paseo del Norte corridor;
(9) parkway standards approved by the city of
Albuquerque for the construction of Unser Boulevard
South along the eastern boundary of the Atrisco Unit
of the monument would be appropriate for a road
passing through the Paseo del Norte corridor;
(10) adequate planning and cooperation between
the city of Albuquerque and the National Park Serv-
ice is essential to avoid resource degradation within
the monument resulting from storm water runoff, and
drainage conveyances through the monument should
be designed and located to provide sufficient capacity
for effective runoff management; and
(11) the monument will best be managed for the
benefit and enjoyment of present and future genera-
tions with cooperation between the city of Albuquer-
que, the State of New Mexico, and the National Park
Service.
(c) PLANNING AUTHORITY.—
HR 3579 EAS
(1) STORM WATER DRAINAGE.—Not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director
of the National Park Service (referred to in this sec-
tion as the ‘‘Secretary’’), and the city of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, shall enter into negotiations to provide
for the management of storm water runoff and drain-
age within the monument, including the design and
construction of any storm water corridors, convey-
ances, and easements within the monument bound-
aries.
(2) ROAD DESIGN.—
(A) If the city of Albuquerque decides to
proceed with the construction of a roadway with-
in the area excluded from the monument by the
amendment made by subsection (d), the design
criteria shall be similar to those provided for the
Unser Boulevard South project along the eastern
boundary of the Atrisco Unit, taking into ac-
count topographic differences and the lane, speed
and noise requirements of the heavier traffic load
that is anticipated for Paseo del Norte, as ref-
erenced in section A–2 of the Unser Middle
Transportation Corridor Record of Decision pre-
HR 3579 EAS
pared by the city of Albuquerque dated December
1993.
(B) At least 180 days before the initiation
of any road construction within the area ex-
cluded from the monument by the amendment
made by subsection (d), the city of Albuquerque
shall notify the Director of the National Park
Service (hereinafter ‘‘the Director’’), who may
submit suggested modifications to the design
specifications of the road construction project
within the area excluded from the monument by
the amendment made by subsection (d).
(C) If after 180 days, an agreement on the
design specifications is not reached by the city of
Albuquerque and the Director, the city may con-
tract with the head of the Department of Civil
Engineering at the University of New Mexico, to
design a road to meet the design criteria referred
to in subparagraph (A). The design specifica-
tions developed by the Department of Civil Engi-
neering shall be deemed to have met the require-
ments of this paragraph, and the city may pro-
ceed with the construction project, in accordance
with those design specifications.
