101-633 - Illinois Wilderness Act of 1990 | 11/28/1990 | 6,838 | This public law also designated the East Fork Special Management Area (2,042 acres), which was absorbed into the Lusk Creek Wilderness in November 1998. The eight year delay between passage of this public law and addition of this area to the National Wilderness Preservation System was to allow for the possibility of prospecting for and mining for fluorspar and associated minerals. | |
