Sec. 460y-1. Management of lands


(a) Utilization and development of resources

    In the management of lands in the area, the Secretary shall utilize 
and develop the resources in such a manner as to satisfy all legitimate 
requirements for the available resources as fully as possible without 
undue denial of any of such requirements and without undue impairment of 
any of the resources, taking into consideration total requirement and 
total availability of resources, irrespective of ownership or location.

(b) Plan of land use, development, and management

    The policy set forth in subsection (a) of this section implies--
        (1) that there will be a comprehensive, balanced, and 
    coordinated plan of land use, development, and management of the 
    Area, and that such plan will be based on an inventory and 
    evaluation of the available resources and requirements for such 
    resources, and on the topography and other features of the Area.
        (2) that the plan will indicate the primary or dominant uses 
    which will be permitted on various portions of the Area.
        (3) that the plan will be based on a weighing of the relative 
    values to be obtained by utilization and development of the 
    resources for alternative possible uses, and will be made with the 
    object of obtaining the greatest values on a continuing basis, and 
    that due consideration will be given to intangible values as well as 
    to tangible values such as dollar return or production per unit.
        (4) that secondary or collateral uses may be permitted to the 
    extent that such uses are compatible with and do not unduly impair 
    the primary or dominant uses, according to a seasonal schedule or 
    otherwise.
        (5) that management of the renewable resources will be such as 
    to obtain a sustained, regular, or periodic yield or supply of 
    products or services without impairment of the productivity, or the 
    enjoyment or carrying capacity of the land.
        (6) that the plan will be reviewed and reevaluated periodically.
        (7) that the resources to be considered are all the natural 
    resources including but not limited to the soils, bodies of water 
    including the shorelines thereof, forest growth including timber, 
    vegetative cover including forage, fish, and other wildlife, and 
    geological resources including minerals.
        (8) that the uses to be considered are all of the legitimate 
    uses of such resources including but not limited to all forms of 
    outdoor recreation including scenic enjoyment, hunting, fishing, 
    hiking, riding, camping, picknicking,\1\ boating, and swimming, all 
    uses of water resources, watershed management, production of timber 
    and other forest producers, grazing and other agricultural uses, 
    fish and wildlife management, mining, preservation of ecological 
    balance, scientific study, occupancy and access.

    \1\ So in original. Probably should be ``picnicking,''.
