Lee Metcalf Wilderness and Management Act of 1983

Summary

Lee Metcalf Wilderness and Management Act of 1983 - Designates specified lands within the Beaverhead and Gallatin National Forests in Montana and within the Dillon Resource Area in Montana as the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. Establishes within the Gallatin National Forest the Lee Metcalf Management Area which shall be withdrawn from all forms of appropriations under mining, mineral leasing, and geothermal leasing laws and which shall be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture to maintain its presently existing wilderness character, with no commercial timber harvest or additional road construction permitted. Requires that motor vehicles be allowed in the area only where they are compatible with the protection and propagation of wildlife in the area. Provides that the following areas have been adequately studied for wilderness and need not be managed to protect their suitability for wilderness designation pending revision of the initial plans required for such lands by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974: (1) the Mount Henry Wilderness Study Area in the Kootenai National Forest; (2) portions of the Taylor-Hilgard Wilderness Study Area in the Beaverhead and Gallatin National Forests; (3) certain lands in the Gallatin and Beaverhead National Forests identified as area 1549 in the Forest Service Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (II) Final Environmental Statement (dated May 3, 1979); and (4) the proposed Tongue River Breaks Wilderness in the Custer National Forest. Provides that the following lands have been adequately studied for wilderness, need not be managed to protect their suitability for wilderness designation, and are available for the uses considered appropriate in land use plans developed pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act: (1) lands in the Powder River Resource Area identified as Tongue River Breaks Contiguity; (2) lands in the Dillon Resource Area identified as Madison Tack-Ons; and (3) the Bear Trap Canyon Study Area. Directs the Secretary to exclude from the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness in Montana: (1) non-Federal lands platted as a specified homestead entry survey, plus any additional land needed to provide vehicular access to such lands; and (2) approximately 40 acres located in the West Fork Mill Creek in order to exclude about 0.3 miles of road, parking area, and public facilities. Removes the road contained in the U.L. Bend Wilderness from the National Wilderness Preservation System. Requires an exchange of lands and interest within the Lee Metcalf Wilderness between Burlington Northern, Incorporated, and the United States. Authorizes the revocation of specified withdrawal orders on the Federal lands involved in such transaction. Authorizes appropriations.
