Scarper Ridge Golden Gate National Recreation Area Boundary Adjustment Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Scarper Ridge Golden Gate National Recreation Area Boundary Adjustment Act is a narrow public-lands boundary bill. It amends Public Law 92-589 to add land generally depicted as Proposed Boundary Addition on the July 2024 Golden Gate National Recreation Area map numbered 641/193973. The bill does not create a new park program or spending formula; its legal effect is to bring the mapped Scarper Ridge land into the statutory boundary for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which affects National Park Service planning, conservation management, landowner expectations, and local recreation access around the proposed addition.
Who Benefits and How
Golden Gate National Recreation Area visitors benefit if the boundary addition protects and integrates Scarper Ridge land for recreation and conservation. National Park Service land managers benefit from statutory authority to plan around the July 2024 proposed boundary addition. Conservation organizations benefit because the bill advances protection of land adjacent to an existing national recreation area. Local residents near Scarper Ridge benefit from clearer federal boundary status for nearby open-space planning.
Who Bears the Burden and How
National Park Service boundary staff must update maps, planning documents, and land-management records for the proposed addition. Private landowners near Scarper Ridge may face changed acquisition, donation, or land-use expectations once land is inside the recreation-area boundary. Interior Department realty staff may need to handle administrative work tied to the boundary adjustment. Local government planners must coordinate with the National Park Service on land-use and access questions near the adjusted boundary.
