S. 1870, the Rim of the Valley Corridor Preservation Act, expands the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California by adding a new section called the Rim of the Valley Unit. The bill adjusts the recreation area's boundaries to include land and water specified on official maps dating from August 2001 and April 2023. The expanded area will be managed by the Secretary of the Interior under the same rules and regulations that apply to the existing Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The legislation protects existing water resource facilities and public utilities in the new unit, allowing them to continue operating while requiring that any activities be conducted in ways that minimize damage to the area's natural resources. The bill does not include specific funding amounts or implementation timelines in the provided text.
