This law says the Rio Grande Natural Area rules do not change the Rio Grande Compact, regulate private land, force minimum streamflows, or create new federal water rights. It also does not stop Colorado from protecting instream flows under its own state law.

Nothing in this subchapter: (1) changes, weakens, or conflicts with the Rio Grande Compact, which Congress approved in 1939; (2) allows the government to regulate private land in the Natural Area; (3) forces any minimum streamflow requirements; (4) creates a new federal water right, whether stated directly or implied; (5) imposes a federal water quality rule inside or upstream of the Natural Area that is stricter than what would apply if the Natural Area didn't exist; or (6) stops Colorado from getting an instream flow through the Natural Area under its own state law, to help protect the natural environment as state law allows.
