Congress authorized up to $70,100,000 for land purchases and $13,000,000 for developing Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Within one year of the park's creation, the Secretary had to send Congress a final master plan covering needed facilities, costs, and future needs. Congress also authorized rising amounts through 1989 for erosion-control work, with unused funds carried forward.

(a) Limitation on acquisition of lands and interests in lands. Congress authorized whatever money was needed for the park's purposes, but no more than $70,100,000 for buying land and land interests. (b) Development of plan. Congress authorized up to $13,000,000 for park development, including improving purchased properties. Within one year of the park's creation, the Secretary — after consulting Ohio's Governor — had to send Congress a final master plan showing (1) the facilities needed for public health, safety, and recreation, (2) where those facilities would go and what they would cost, and (3) future facility needs. (c) Restoration of vegetative cover to eliminate erosion. Congress authorized $500,000 for fiscal year 1986, $1,000,000 for 1987, $1,500,000 for 1988, and $1,750,000 for 1989 for the erosion-control work described in section 460ff–3(c)(2). Any money authorized but not spent in one fiscal year stays available in later years.
