Section 4 of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act ( Public Law 106–506 ; 114 Stat. 2353) is amended— in subsection (b)(3), by striking basin and inserting Basin ; and by adding at the end the following: In conducting forest management activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, the Secretary shall, as appropriate, coordinate with the Administrator and State and local agencies and organizations, including local fire departments and volunteer groups. The coordination of activities under subparagraph
(A)should aim to increase efficiencies and maximize the compatibility of management practices across public property boundaries. In conducting forest management activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, the Secretary shall conduct the activities in a manner that— except as provided in subparagraph (B), attains multiple ecosystem benefits, including— reducing forest fuels; maintaining biological diversity; improving wetland and water quality, including in Stream Environment Zones; and increasing resilience to changing water temperature and precipitation; and helps achieve and maintain the environmental threshold carrying capacities established by the Planning Agency. Notwithstanding subparagraph (A)(i), the attainment of multiple ecosystem benefits shall not be required if the Secretary determines that management for multiple ecosystem benefits would excessively increase the cost of a program in relation to the additional ecosystem benefits gained from the management activity. Consistent with applicable Federal law and Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit land and resource management plan direction, the Secretary shall— establish post-program ground condition criteria for ground disturbance caused by forest management activities; and provide for monitoring to ascertain the attainment of the post-program conditions. Subject to valid existing rights and paragraph (2), the Federal land located in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is withdrawn from— all forms of entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public land laws; location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and disposition under all laws relating to mineral and geothermal leasing. A conveyance of land shall be exempt from withdrawal under this subsection if carried out under— this Act; or Public Law 96–586 (94 Stat. 3381) (commonly known as the Santini-Burton Act ). The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit shall support the attainment of the environmental threshold carrying capacities. During the 4 fiscal years following the date of enactment of the Water Resources Development Act of 2016 , the Secretary, in conjunction with land adjustment programs, may enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with States, units of local government, and other public and private entities to provide for fuel reduction, erosion control, reforestation, Stream Environment Zone restoration, and similar management activities on Federal land and non-Federal land within the programs. .
