What this amendment would do

SA 6436, submitted by Mr. Heinrich, aims to add a section to bill S. 4784 for the Designation of Cerro de la Olla Wilderness.

The amendment proposes the following changes:

  • Wilderness Designation: It designates approximately 12,295 acres of Federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Taos County, New Mexico, as the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness.

  • Administrative Updates: It modifies the section heading and table of contents of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act to reference the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.

  • Boundary and Mapping: It updates the official map to the one titled "Proposed Cerro de la Olla Wilderness and Rio Grande del Norte National Monument Boundary" dated April 1, 2025, and modifies the boundary of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.

  • Wildlife Water Projects: It allows the Secretary to authorize the maintenance of existing structures or facilities for wildlife water development projects, such as guzzlers, if they promote healthy wildlife populations and minimize visual impacts.

  • State Cooperation: It requires the Secretary to enter into a cooperative agreement with the State of New Mexico within one year to set the terms for wildlife management activities in the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness.
