The Secretary of the Interior may let certain land added to a national park in 1975 be used for a government reclamation project. This is only allowed if it fits with the park's main purpose.

This section covers land that was part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area right before January 3, 1975, and was then added to the park by sections 228a through 228j of this title. As long as doing so fits with the park's main purposes, the Secretary of the Interior may allow that land to be used for developing and maintaining a government reclamation project.
