  of the Wilderness Act, the approximately 50,000 acres of land located 
  in Eagle County, Colorado, and generally depicted on the map entitled 
  ``Red Table'', numbered ____, and dated ____'' are hereby designated as

  Preservation System. Such component shall be known as ``Red Table 
  Mountain Wilderness''.
      (b) Management.--Subject to valid existing rights, land designated 
  as wilderness by this title shall be managed by the Secretary, as 
  appropriate, in accordance with this title and--
              (1) the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), except 
          that, with respect to any wilderness areas designated by this 
          title, any reference in the Wilderness Act to the effective 
          date of the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a reference to 
          the date of the enactment of this title;
              (2) the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 
          U.S.C. 1701 et seq.); and
              (3) other applicable law.
      (c) Water Infrastructure.--Nothing in this title (including the 
  provisions related to establishment or management of the Red Table 
  Mountain Wilderness Area) shall affect, impede, interfere with, or 
  diminish the operation, existence, access, maintenance, improvement, or 
  construction of water facilities and infrastructure, rights-of-way, or 
  other water-related property, interests, and uses, (including the use 
  of motorized vehicles and equipment existing or located on lands within 
  the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area).
      (d) High Voltage Transmission Electricity Lines or Electrical Power 
  Lines.--The Secretary shall allow for maintenance of rights-of-ways and 
  access roads located within the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area to 
  the extent necessary to operate a transmission line or electrical power 
  line in a manner that avoids negative impacts on public safety and 
  allows for compliance with State and/or Federal safety requirements. 
  Such maintenance may include vegetation management, road maintenance, 
  ground stabilization, and motorized vehicle access.
      (e) Withdrawals.--Subject to valid existing rights, all Federal 
  lands within the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area are withdrawn 
  from--
              (1) all forms of entry, appropriation, or disposal under 
          the public land laws;
              (2) location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and
              (3) the operation of the mineral leasing, mineral 
          materials, and geothermal leasing laws, and all amendments 
          thereto.
      (f) Aerial Navigation Training Exercises.--
              (1) In general.--The Colorado Army National Guard, through 
          the High Altitude ARNG Aviation Training Site, shall continue 
          to be allowed to conduct aerial navigation training maneuver 
          exercises over and upon the lands within the Red Table Mountain 
          Wilderness Area in a manner consistent with the memorandum of 
          understanding dated August 4, 1987, (or a subsequent memorandum 
          of understanding entered into by all of the same parties), 
          among the Colorado Army National Guard, the Bureau of Land 
          Management, and the United States Forest Service as interpreted 
          and implemented prior to the date of the enactment of this 
          title.
              (2) Review and modification of memorandum of 
          understanding.--The memorandum of understanding referred to in 
          paragraph (1) may be modified subject to the agreement of all 
          parties thereto. The parties to the memorandum of understanding 
          shall review the memorandum and associated annual operating 
          plan not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
          this title, and annually thereafter while the memorandum of 
          understanding is in effect. The review shall include 
          consideration of alternative locations over National Forest 
          System lands and lands administered by the Bureau of Land 
          Management outside of the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area 
          for the conduct of activities identified in the memorandum. If 
          the Colorado Army National Guard identifies such an alternate 
          location outside of the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area that 
          meets its aerial training needs, the memorandum of 
          understanding shall be modified accordingly, subject to the 
          agreement of all parties thereto.
      (g) Hunting and Fishing.--Nothing in this title shall affect the 
  authority of the Colorado Division of Wildlife to regulate hunting or 
  fishing in the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area.
      (h) Grazing.--
              (1) In general.--Except as provided by paragraph (2), the 
          Secretary shall issue and administer any grazing leases or 
          permits in the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area in accordance 
          with the same laws (including regulations) and Executive orders 
          followed by the Secretary in issuing and administering grazing 
          leases and permits on other land under the jurisdiction of the 
          Forest Service.
              (2) Grazing in wilderness area.--Grazing of livestock in 
          the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area on lands that are under 
          the jurisdiction of the Forest Service shall be administered in 
          accordance with the provisions of section 4(d)(4) of the 
          Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(4)), in accordance with the 
          guidelines set forth under the heading ``Grazing in National 
          Forest Wilderness'' in House Report 96-617 of the 96th 
          Congress.
      (i) No Buffer Zones.--Congress does not intend for the 
  establishment of the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area to lead to the 
  creation of protective perimeters or buffer zones around the Red Table 
  Mountain Wilderness Area. The fact that there may be activities or uses 
  on lands outside the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area that would not 
  be allowed in the Red Table Mountain Wilderness Area shall not preclude 
  such activities or uses on such lands up to the boundary of the Red 
  Table Mountain Wilderness Area consistent with other applicable laws.
  
  SEC. 202. WATER RIGHTS.
  
      (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
              (1) The lands designated as wilderness by this title are 
          located at the headwaters of the streams and rivers on those 
          lands, with few, if any, actual or proposed water resource 
          facilities located upstream from such lands and few, if any, 
          opportunities for diversion, storage, or other uses of water 
          occurring outside such lands that would adversely affect the 
          wilderness or other values of such lands.
              (2) The lands designated as wilderness by this title 
          includes several water resource facilities which provide for 
          important water storage and transmission of water for the 
          benefit of private owners of decreed water rights and the Town 
          of Gypsum.
              (3) It is possible to provide for proper management and 
          protection of the wilderness and other values of such lands in 
          ways different from those used in other legislation designating 
          as wilderness lands not sharing the attributes of the lands 
          designated as wilderness by this title.
      (b) Statutory Construction.--
              (1) Nothing in this title shall constitute or be construed 
          to constitute either an express or implied reservation of any 
          water or water rights with respect to the land designated as 
          wilderness by this title.
              (2) Nothing in this title shall affect any conditional or 
          absolute water rights in the State of Colorado existing on the 
          date of the enactment of this title.
              (3) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as 
          establishing a precedent with regard to any future wilderness 
          designations.
              (4) Nothing in this title shall be construed as limiting, 
          altering, modifying, or amending any of the interstate compacts 
          or equitable apportionment decrees that apportion water among 
          and between the State of Colorado and other States.
      (c) Prohibition Against Instream Flow Permit Conditions.--The 
  Secretary shall not, as a condition of permit renewal for existing 
  facilities on National Forest System lands, impose bypass or other 
  minimum instream flow requirements within or upstream of the Red Table 
  Mountain Wilderness Area.
  
  SEC. 203. MAPS AND LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS.
  
      (a) In General.--As soon as practicable after the date of the 
  enactment of this title, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a copy 
  of the maps referred to in section 201 and legal descriptions of the 
  land designated as wilderness by this title. The Secretary shall 
  reflect, as necessary, the boundaries referred to in subsection (e) on 
  the maps and legal descriptions submitted under this subsection.
      (b) Force and Effect.--The maps and legal descriptions shall have 
  the same force and effect as if included in this title, except that the 
  Secretary may correct clerical and typographical errors in the Map and 
  the legal descriptions.
      (c) Public Availability.--Copies of the maps and the legal 
  descriptions shall be on file and available for public inspection in--
              (1) the office of the Chief of the Forest Service; and
              (2) the office of the White River National Forest in 
          Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
