To effect an exchange of lands between the United States Forest Service and the Salt Lake City Corporation within the State of Utah, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the "Salt Lake City Watershed Improvement Act of 1990". SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) FINDINGS. —The Congress finds that— (1) current land ownership patterns in the Northern Canyons of the Wasatch Mountains east of Salt Lake City, Utah, unnecessarily impede efficient land and water resource management activities by the Forest Service and Salt Lake City on their respective lands; (2) the Act of September 19, 1914, reserved Federal lands in these canyons from mineral entry and set them aside as a municipal water supply reserve for the use and benefit of Salt Lake City; (3) the 1914 Act further provides for cooperation between the Forest Service and Salt Lake City in managing the lands for municipal water supply purposes; and (4) a consolidation of National Forest lands and Salt Lake City lands in the canyon vicinities would be in the public interest and would enhance land management and water resource protection opportunities for both Salt Lake City and the Forest Service. (b) PURPOSES.— The purposes of this Act are to authorize an exchange of Forest Service and Salt Lake City lands and interests to consolidate ownership and facilitate management, to adjust boundaries of the Wasatch National Forest accordingly, and to protect valid existing rights appurtenant to lands and interests subject to conveyance under this Act.
