16 U.S.C. § 410rr–7: Glorieta Unit of Pecos…

Summary

Create the Glorieta Unit of Pecos National Historical Park to protect and explain the Battle of Glorieta for people today and in the future. The unit covers about 682 acres shown on maps labeled 430–80,031 dated July 1990, and the park boundary is changed to include it. The Secretary of the Interior must run the unit like other National Park units under existing park laws (including the Acts of August 25, 1916, and August 21, 1935). The Secretary may acquire land by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, or exchange, but cannot acquire private land without the owner’s consent unless the land is or will be used in ways that harm the unit or its management. Lands marked as unit number 26 in the “Historic Zone” move from the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary of the Interior. Management rules for the Glorieta Unit must be added to the Pecos park’s general plan and must identify travel routes tied to the battle. Congress may provide the funds needed to carry out these actions.
