AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill adds about 1,000 acres of land in the George Washington National Forest in Virginia to the existing Rough Mountain Wilderness. It also names about 4,600 acres as a potential wilderness area to be added to the Rich Hole Wilderness. That land becomes full wilderness either when the Secretary of Agriculture announces that certain water quality projects are finished or 5 years after the law is enacted, whichever comes first. Until then, the Secretary may use motorized equipment there for projects to improve water quality and passage for aquatic life, while using the least disruptive methods practicable.
