Clear Creek National Recreation Area and Conservation Act

Bill 115 hr 1913, also known as the Clear Creek National Recreation Area and Conservation Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to designate certain federal lands in California as the Clear Creek National Recreation Area. This area would be managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and would be open to the public for recreational activities such as hiking, camping, and off-highway vehicle use.

In addition to creating the recreation area, the bill also aims to protect the natural resources and wildlife habitat in the area by designating certain lands as wilderness areas. This designation would restrict certain activities in order to preserve the unique ecosystems found in Clear Creek.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the cleanup and remediation of hazardous substances in the area, particularly related to the historic mining activities that took place there. This cleanup effort is crucial for protecting the health and safety of visitors to the recreation area and for preserving the environment for future generations. Overall, the Clear Creek National Recreation Area and Conservation Act seeks to balance the interests of recreation, conservation, and environmental protection in a way that benefits both the public and the natural resources of the area.
