1ST SESSION
H. R. 1137
AN ACT

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Old Faithful Protec-

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) Yellowstone National Park is a unique and
irreplaceable national and international treasure and
part of one of the few remaining undisturbed hydro-
thermal systems in the world;
(2) there is a risk that unrestricted ground-
water use or hydrothermal or geothermal resource
development adjacent to Yellowstone National Park
in the States of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho will
interfere or adversely affect the hydrothermal and
geothermal features of such Park or the manage-
ment of relevant mineral resources;
(3) further research is needed to understand
the characteristics of the protected systems and fea-
tures and the effects of development on such sys-
tems and features on lands outside of Yellowstone
National Park but within the Yellowstone Protection
Area, as such area is defined in this Act;
(4) preservation and protection, free from in-
jury or impairment, of the hydrothermal system as-
sociated with and the features within Yellowstone
National Park is a benefit to the people of the
United States and the world;
(5) cooperation between the United States and
the States of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming to pro-
tect and preserve Yellowstone National Park is de-
sirable; and
(6) as a settlement of litigation concerning
water rights, including the reserved water rights of
the United States associated with units of the Na-
tional Park System in Montana, the Department of
the Interior and the Department of Justice, on be-
half of the United States, and a Compact Commis-
