Sec. 460dd-7. Proposed road study


(a) Criteria and environmental impact of specific route

    The Secretary, together with the Highway Department of the State of 
Utah, shall conduct a study of proposed road alinements within and 
adjacent to the recreation area. Such study shall locate the specific 
route of a scenic, low-speed road, hereby authorized, from Glen Canyon 
City to Bullfrog Basin, crossing the Escalante River south of the point 
where the river has entered Lake Powell when the lake is at the three 
thousand seven hundred-foot level. In determining the route for this 
road, special care shall be taken to minimize any adverse environmental 
impact and said road is not required to meet ordinary secondary road 
standards as to grade, alinement, and curvature. Turnouts, overlooks, 
and scenic vistas may be included in the road plan. In no event shall 
said route cross the Escalante River north of Stephens Arch.

(b) Timetable

    The study shall include a reasonable timetable for the engineering, 
planning, and construction of the road authorized in subsection (a) of 
this section and the Secretary of the Interior shall adhere to said 
timetable in every way feasible to him.

(c) Markers and other interpretative devices

    The Secretary is authorized to construct and maintain markers and 
other interpretative devices consistent with highway safety standards.

(d) Additional roads

    The study specified in subsection (a) of this section shall 
designate what additional roads are appropriate and necessary for full 
utilization of the area for the purposes of this subchapter and to 
connect with all roads of ingress to, and egress from the recreation 
area.

(e) Report to Congress

    The findings and conclusions of the Secretary and the Highway 
Department of the State of Utah, specified in subsection (a) of this 
section, shall be submitted to Congress within two years of October 27, 
1972, and shall include recommendations for any further legislation 
necessary to implement the findings and conclusions. It shall specify 
the funds necessary for appropriation in order to meet the timetable 
fixed in subsection (b) of this section.
