SEC. 7. WILDLAND RECOVERY SYSTEM.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) certain National Forest System lands and
surrounding areas have been damaged by unwise re-
source extraction and development activities and
practices, and the productive potential of the lands
and waters of these areas has been reduced by devel-
opment activities;
(2) recovery activities are required to reverse
severe damage to native fish and wildlife populations
and water quality in these areas; and
(3) recovery work associated with these areas
will create new job opportunities for local commu-
nities, assist in the economic transition ongoing in
the region, and contribute to the economic sustain-
ability of these rural areas by restoring the produc-
tive capability of the land.
(b) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is hereby established
the National Wildland Restoration and Recovery System
(hereinafter in this section referred to as the ‘‘Recovery
System’’).
(c) COMPONENTS.—The following areas, as depicted
on the maps dated January 1, 1995, and entitled ‘‘Na-
tional Wildland Restoration and Recovery Area’’, shall be
