A bill to improve protection and management of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in the State of Georgia.

Summary

Provides for an additional map to depict lands added to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Georgia, pursuant to this Act. Allows, after July 1, 1999, the Secretary of the Interior to modify the boundaries of the Area to include other lands within the river corridor of the River by submitting a revised map or other boundary description to Congress. Prohibits such revised boundaries from taking place if Congress adopts a Joint Resolution disapproving the revision. . Increases the total acreage limitation for the Area to 10,000 (currently, approximately 6,800). Prohibits the acquisition of lands and interests in lands under this Act without the owner's consent. Repeals Federal provisions providing for exchange of Federal lands within the Area for non-Federal lands within its boundaries. Authorizes the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements with other entities (currently, Georgia and its political subdivisions) to assure standardized acquisition, planning, design, construction, and operation of the Area. Decreases from $79.4 million to $25 million the cap on the authorization of appropriations for land acquisition for the Area. Authorizes the Secretary to accept the donation of funds and lands or interests in lands to carry out this Act. Requires the Secretary to: (1) submit the initial general management plan for the Area to the House Committee on Resources (currently, Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs); and (2) within three years after enactment of this Act, submit to specified congressional committees a revision of such plan.
