    Authority: Mining Law of 1872 (R.S. 2319; 30 U.S.C. 21 et seq.); Act 
of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.); Act

    These regulations control all activities within units of the 
National Park System resulting from the exercise of valid existing 
mineral rights on patented or unpatented mining claims without regard to 
the means or route by which the operator gains access to the claim. The 
purpose of these regulations is to insure that such activities are 
conducted in a manner consistent with the purposes for which the 
National Park System and each unit thereof were created, to prevent or 
minimize damage to the environment or other resource values, and to 
insure that the pristine beauty of the units is preserved for the 
benefit of present and future generations. These regulations apply to 
all operations, as defined herein, conducted within the boundaries of 
any unit of the National Park System.
