What it does
The bill would designate numerous segments of the Gila River system in New Mexico as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, classifying them as wild, scenic, or recreational rivers based on their natural characteristics. It would withdraw federal land within these designated segments from mining, mineral leasing, and other forms of appropriation or disposal, subject to existing rights. The Secretary of the Interior or Agriculture, depending on jurisdiction, would be responsible for preparing maps, legal descriptions, and a comprehensive river management plan for the designated areas.
