in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section tells the Secretary of the Interior to run and protect Glen Canyon National Recreation Area under the 1916 National Park Service law and other conservation authority. It does not change the Secretary's separate power to operate Glen Canyon Dam for irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power.

The Secretary must administer, protect, and develop the recreation area following the Act of August 25, 1916 (the law creating the National Park Service), as later changed and added to. The Secretary may also use any other legal authority available for conserving and managing natural resources, as long as the Secretary decides that authority helps carry out this subchapter's purposes. However, nothing in this subchapter changes or interferes with the Secretary's separate authority, granted by a 1956 law, to operate Glen Canyon Dam and its reservoir. That authority continues to serve the purposes of the Colorado River Storage Project Act — regulating the river, irrigation, flood control, and generating hydroelectric power.
