§698m–1 Big Cypress National Preserve Addition

Summary

Adds about 146,000 acres to the Big Cypress National Preserve to meet the preserve’s goals, finish the preserve work tied to the planned Interstate 75, and make sure the Big Cypress Watershed in Florida is used and accessed in a managed way. The addition is shown on a map titled Big Cypress National Preserve Addition (April, 1987; map no. 176–91000C). That map is on file at the National Park Service in Washington, D.C., and with Collier County offices. The Secretary must publish the detailed boundary description in the Federal Register as soon as practicable. The area will be called the Big Cypress National Preserve Addition and will be managed under the preserve’s existing rules. Congress intends that the Secretary must largely finish buying the land for the addition within five years after April 29, 1988.
