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 segments from mining, mineral leasing, and public land disposal, subject to existing rights, and require the Secretary of the Interior or Agriculture to prepare maps and management plans for the designated areas. The legislation affects federal land management in New Mexico and aims to preserve the river system’s free-flowing condition and surrounding environment.
