In selecting the method or methods to be used to control or manage an invasive species as part of a specific control or management project, the Secretary concerned shall require the use of the least costly options based on sound scientific data and other commonly used cost-effective benchmarks in the area to effectively control and manage invasive species. The Secretary concerned shall require a comparative economic assessment of invasive species control and management methods to be conducted to comply with subsection (a).
If an invasive species control or management project or activity to be conducted on lands directly managed by the Secretary concerned will be conducted in a prioritized, high-risk area involving the treatment of land or waterways within 1,000 feet of a water body or waterway, a water project, a utility or telephone infrastructure or right of way, a railroad line, an airport, a port of entry, campground, roadside or highway, heritage site, a national monument, a park, recreation site, school, or other similar and valuable infrastructure, as determined by the Secretary concerned, the project or activity is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ) so long as the Secretary concerned determines that the project or activity is otherwise conducted consistently with agency procedures, including any land and resource management plan or land use plan applicable to the area covered by the project or activity.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to preclude the Secretary concerned from pursuing or supporting, under the authority of any other provision of law, activities regarding the control, prevention, or management of invasive species, including investigations to better control, prevent, or manage invasive species. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize the Secretary concerned to suspend water deliveries or diversions or otherwise prevent the operation of a public water supply system as a measure to control, manage, or prevent the introduction or spread of invasive species.
