Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Establishment Act

S 593 designates approximately 12,898 acres of federal land in Taos County, New Mexico, managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness. It modifies the boundary of Río Grande del Norte National Monument to include this new wilderness area, as shown on a 2022 map. The bill allows the maintenance of existing wildlife water structures (like guzzlers) within the wilderness if they enhance wildlife values and minimize visual impacts, requiring a cooperative agreement with New Mexico within one year of enactment. This directly affects land management practices in the designated wilderness and the national monument boundary.
