This subtitle may be cited as the "Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge Act of 2001". SEC. 3172. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) FINDINGS.— Congress finds the following: (1) The Federal Government, through the Atomic Energy Commission, acquired the Rocky Flats site in 1951 and began operations there in 1952. The site remains a Department of Energy facility. Since 1992, the mission of the Rocky Flats site has changed from the production of nuclear weapons components to cleanup and closure in a manner that is safe, environmentally and socially responsible, physically secure, and costeffective. (2) The majority of the Rocky Flats site has generally remained undisturbed since its acquisition by the Federal Government. (3) The State of Colorado is experiencing increasing growth and development, especially in the metropolitan Denver Front Range area in the vicinity of the Rocky Flats site. That growth and development reduces the amount of open space and thereby diminishes for many metropolitan Denver communities the vistas of the striking Front Range mountain backdrop.
