No new roads or trails will be authorized within the monument except to further the pur- poses of the monument. Prior to the issuance of the management plan, ex- isting roads and trails may be closed or altered to protect the obiects of in- terest in the monument, and motorized vehicle use will be permitted on trails until but not after December 31, 2000.

There is hereby reserved, as of the date of this proclamation and subiect to valid existing rights, a quantity of water sufficient to fulfill the purposes for which this monument is established.

Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to revoke any existing with- drawal, reservation, or appropriation; however, the national monument shall be the dominant reservation.
