Summary

Vermont Wilderness and Recreation Area Act of 1983 - Title I: New Wilderness Areas - Designates the following lands in the Green Mountain National Forest, Vermont, as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System: (1) the Breadloaf Wilderness; (2) the Lost Pond Wilderness; (3) the Peru Peak Wilderness; (4) the Lye Brook Wilderness; and (5) the George D. Aiken Wilderness. Permits the Appalachian Trail, the Long trail, and their related structures and associated trails to be maintained. States that the second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) environmental impact statement shall not be subject to judicial review concerning the national forest system lands in Vermont. Deems the RARE II review of national forest system lands in Vermont to be an adequate evaluation of the suitability of such lands for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Eliminates the requirement that the Department of Agriculture review the wilderness option of such lands prior to the revision of initial land management plans. Provides that areas in Vermont which were reviewed in the final environmental statement, but not designated as wilderness, need not be managed for the purpose of protecting their suitability for wilderness designation. Prohibits the Department of Agriculture from conducting further statewide roadless area reviews and evaluations of national forest system lands in Vermont for the purpose of determining their suitability for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System, unless expressly authorized to do so by Congress. Title II: White Rocks National Recreation Area - Designates certain lands in the Green Mountain National Forest, Vermont, as the White Rocks National Recreation Area. Prohibits the construction of new roads in the area. Restricts wheeled vehicles to existing systems roads of the Forest Service. Withdraws federally owned lands within the White Rocks National Recreation Area from all forms of appropriation under mineral leasing laws and geothermal leasing laws. Directs the Secretary to: (1) permit hunting, fishing, and trapping within the boundaries of the White Rocks National Recreation Area in accordance with Federal and State law; (2) submit a comprehensive management plan for the recreation area to specified congressional committees; and (3) provide for public participation in the preparation and review of such comprehensive management plan.
