(1) Castle Nugent Farms, located on the south-

(1) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the fol-
lowing: 
(A) According to decisions of the courts of 
the State of Colorado, the United States has ex-
isting rights to water within the Rocky Moun-
tain National Park. 
(B) Those rights are sufficient for the pur-
poses of the Rocky Mountain National Park 
Wilderness as designated by section 2. 
(C) In light of the findings in subpara-
graphs (A) and (B), there is no need for this 
Act to effect a reservation by the United States 
of any additional water rights to fulfill the pur-
poses for which the Rocky Mountain National 
Park Wilderness is designated. 
(2) NO RESERVATION.—Nothing in this Act or 
any action taken pursuant to this Act shall con-
stitute either an express or implied reservation of 
water or water rights for any purpose. 
(c) COLORADO-BIG THOMPSON PROJECT.— 
(1) 
CURRENT
ACTIVITIES.—Activities 
on, 
under, or affecting the lands designated as wilder-
ness by section 2 relating to the monitoring, oper-
ation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and use of 
the Colorado-Big Thompson Project and its facilities
which were allowed as of June 1, 1998, shall be al-
lowed to continue and shall not be affected by the 
designation of the lands as wilderness. 
(2) NEW ACTIVITIES.—In addition to the activi-
ties described in paragraph (1), any other activities 
on, under, or affecting the lands designated as wil-
derness by section 2 that because of emergencies or 
catastrophic events become necessary for the oper-
ation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and con-
tinue use of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project and 
its facilities shall be allowed, subject only to reason-
able restrictions which are established by the Sec-
retary of the Interior to protect the wilderness val-
ues of the lands. In implementing this paragraph, 
the Secretary shall not establish any restrictions on 
the activities that would prevent the occurrence of 
such necessary activities or that would reduce the 
water supply provided by the Colorado-Big Thomp-
son Project or the Windy Gap Project. 
(3) RELATION TO AUTHORITY IN ACT ESTAB-
LISHING PARK.—Nothing in the first section of the 
Act of January 26, 1915 (16 U.S.C. 191), shall be 
construed to allow development within the lands des-
ignated as wilderness by section 2 of any reclama-
tion project not in existence as of the date of the en-
actment of this Act. 
(d) NO BUFFER ZONES.—Congress does not intend 
that the designation by this Act of the Rocky Mountain 
National Park Wilderness creates or implies the creation 
of protective perimeters or buffer zones around the wilder-
ness area. The fact that nonwilderness activities or uses 
can be seen or heard from within the wilderness area shall 
not, of itself, preclude such activities or uses up to the 
boundary of the wilderness area.

‘‘(d) EXTENDED ATTAINMENT DATE
FOR CERTAIN 
DOWNWIND AREAS.— 
‘‘(1) DEFINITIONS.—In this subsection: 
‘‘(A) The term ‘upwind area’ means an 
area that— 
‘‘(i) affects nonattainment in another 
area, hereinafter referred to as a downwind 
area; and 
‘‘(ii) is either— 
‘‘(I) a nonattainment area with a 
later attainment date than the down-
wind area, or 
‘‘(II) an area in another State 
that the Administrator has found to be 
significantly 
contributing 
to 
non-
attainment in the downwind area in 
violation of section 110(a)(2)(D) and 
for which the Administrator has estab-
lished requirements through notice and 
comment rulemaking to eliminate the 
emissions causing such significant con-
tribution. 
‘‘(B) The term ‘current classification’ means 
the classification of a downwind area under this
section at the time of the determination under 
paragraph (2). 
‘‘(2) EXTENSION.—Notwithstanding the provi-
sions of subsection (b)(2) of this section, a downwind 
area that is not in attainment within 18 months of 
the attainment deadline required under this section 
may seek an extension of time to come into attain-
ment by petitioning the Administrator for such an ex-
tension. If the Administrator— 
‘‘(A) determines that any area is a down-
wind area with respect to a particular national 
ambient air quality standard for ozone; 
‘‘(B) approves a plan revision for such area 
as provided in paragraph (3) prior to a reclassi-
fication under subsection (b)(2)(A); and 
‘‘(C) determines that the petitioning down-
wind area has demonstrated that it is affected by 
transport from an upwind area to a degree that 
affects the area’s ability to attain, 
the Administrator, in lieu of such reclassification, 
may extend the attainment date for such downwind 
area for such standard in accordance with paragraph 
(5). 
‘‘(3) APPROVAL.—In order to extend the attain-
ment date for a downwind area under this subsection,
the Administrator may approve a revision of the ap-
plicable implementation plan for the downwind area 
for such standard that— 
‘‘(A) complies with all requirements of this 
Act applicable under the current classification of 
the downwind area, including any requirements 
applicable to the area under section 172(c) for 
such standard; 
‘‘(B) includes any additional measures 
needed to demonstrate attainment by the ex-
tended attainment date provided under this sub-
section, and provides for implementation of those 
measures as expeditiously as practicable; and 
‘‘(C) provides appropriate measures to en-
sure that no area downwind of the area receiving 
the extended attainment date will be affected by 
transport to a degree that affects the area’s abil-
ity to attain, from the area receiving the exten-
sion.

PRIOR
RECLASSIFICATION
DETERMINA-
TION.—If, after April 1, 2003, and prior to the time 
the 1-hour ozone standard no longer applies to a

fication determination under subsection (b)(2)(A) for

(1) is located in an area determined by the

such area, the reclassification shall be withdrawn 
and, for purposes of implementing the 8-hour ozone 
national ambient air quality standard, the area shall 
be treated as if the reclassification never occurred. 
Such plan must be submitted no later than 12 months 
following enactment of this subsection, and— 
‘‘(A) the plan revision for the downwind 
area must comply with all control and planning 
requirements of this Act applicable under the 
classification that applied immediately prior to

plicable to the area under section 172(c) for such

measures needed to demonstrate attainment no

the Administrator to significantly contribute to 
nonattainment are required to be achieved by the

The attainment date extended under this subsection 
shall provide for attainment of such national ambient 
air quality standard for ozone in the downwind area 
as expeditiously as practicable but no later than the
end of the first complete ozone season following the 
date on which the last reductions in pollution trans-
port that have been found by the Administrator to 
significantly contribute to nonattainment are re-
quired to be achieved by the upwind area or areas.

tended under this subsection shall provide for attain-
ment of such national ambient air quality standard 
for ozone in the downwind area as expeditiously as 
practicable but no later than the new date that the

fied under subsection (b)(2). 
‘‘(6) RULEMAKING.—Within 12 months after the 
enactment of this subsection, the Administrator shall, 
through notice and comment, promulgate rules to de-
fine the term ‘affected by transport to a degree that 
affects an areas ability to attain’ in order to ensure 
that downwind areas are not unjustly penalized, and 
for purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3) of this sub-
section.’’.
