Summary
The Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to issue a right-of-way for an emergency exit road on National Park Service land near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, specifically near milepost 9.6. The Secretary must issue the right-of-way if three conditions are met: an evaluation of non-federal alternatives (including converting existing trails) has been completed, a fire ecology analysis has been conducted, and required environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and federal land management law have been finished. The bill amends the 1936 Act establishing the Blue Ridge Parkway to mandate this issuance rather than leaving it discretionary.
