What it does
The bill would amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to authorize a study of the Secretary of the Interior to study the Mullica River watershed in New Jersey—including the Mullica, Wading, and Batsto Rivers and their specified tributaries—for potential designation as a wild and scenic river. The study must be completed within three years of funding availability, after which a report on the findings must be submitted to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The bill affects federal agencies responsible for river conservation and could lead to future protective designations for the watershed’s rivers and streams.
