Valley National Monument for removal of feral burros and horses: Provided further. That notwithstanding any other provision of law, the National Park Service may recover unbudgeted costs of providing necessary services associated with special use permits, such reimbursements to be credited to the appropriation current at that time: Provided further. That none of the funds appropriated to the National Park Service may be used to implement an agreement for the redevelopment of the southern end of Ellis Island until such agreement has been submitted to the Congress and shall not be implemented prior to the expiration of 30 calendar days (not including any day in which either House of Congress is not in session because of adjournment of more than three calendar days to a day certain) from the receipt by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate of a full and comprehensive report on the development of the southern end of Ellis Island, including the facts and circumstances relied upon in support of the proposed project. None of the funds in this Act or any other Act may be used to commence, conduct, or participate in any action in any court of law for condemnation of the property or to initiate a declaration of taking for any property in the Santa Monica Mountains NRA, California against the owner of any inholding having a detached single-family dwelling the construction of which had been begun before January 1, 1978, or against the owner or his assignees of any inholding of a detached single-family dwelling the construction of which had been begun before January 1, 1978, which dwelling may have been destroyed by fire, storm or otherwise. No funds shall be available for the National Park Service to issue any construction permit for the Potomac Greens interchange on the George Washington Memorial Parkway unless an Environmental Impact Statement is conducted. The Environmental Impact Statement shall be commenced promptly and completed and filed within eighteen (18) months of the date on which this bill is enacted. After completion and filing, the EIS shall be transmitted to the appropriate Congressional Committees for a period of 60 days, during which time the National Park Service shall not issue any construction permit for the Potomac Greens interchange on the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The Environmental Impact Statement shall review the traffic impact of only the proposed 38-acre development opposite Daingerfield Island west of the George Washington Memorial Parkway: Provided further. That the National Park Service shall review the impact of the planned development on the visual, recreational and historical integrity of the Parkway. The Environmental Impact Statement shall also provide an evaluation of alternative acquisition strategies to include but not be limited to appraisal estimates for the access rights, the entire 38-acre parcel, that portion of the 38-acre parcel as defined approximately by the historic district boundary line, and any other recommendations by the National Park Service to mitigate the Parkway degradation effects of the proposed development so as to adequately protect and preserve the Parkway. Such appraisals shall be prepared and filed as soon as is reasonably possible. The National Park Service solely shall determine the legal and factual sufficiency of the Environmental Impact Statement and its compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
