<br />7.4 When may the Secretary object to a water resources project?
<br />
<br />In order to object to a water resources project, the Secretary must
<br />first determine that the project would have both a direct and adverse
<br />effect on a river. (February 7, 1969)
<br />
<br />
<br />7.5 Does the moratorium on water .resources 0 ects
<br />b ii extend to an river that a State ma
<br />for inclusion in the National System?
<br />
<br />
<br />No. The one year protection provided by section 7(b)(ii) to rivers
<br />which are considered by the Secretary for inclusion in the system
<br />'under section 2(a)(ii) is limited to those rivers listed in section
<br />5(a) as study rivers, rather than to any. river that a particular State
<br />m~ propose to the Secretary for inclusion in the system.

<br />
<br />. The initial provisions of section 7(b) only restrict the activities of
<br />the Federal Bower Commission and other agencies of the United States
<br />insofar as they relate to section 5(a). rivers. The five-year exten-
<br />sion likewise applies only to section ~(a) rivers, since the Act
<br />speaks in terms of "such rivers." Subsection 7(b)(ii), although it
<br />contains the phrase "any river", provides an additional period of.
<br />protection for only those rivers considered in subsection 7(b) (i).! It
<br />follows, that subse~tion'(ii) relates back and supplements the protec-
<br />tion provided section 5(a) rivers by subsection (i). (April 22, 1969)

<br />
<br />No. Rivers not specifically mentioned in the Act do not have protec-
<br />tion unt~l they become a part of the National System. (March 4, 1970)

<br />
<br />Yes. Rivers in the system under State administration are subject to ,.
<br />the protective provisions of section 7(0.) to the same extent as those
<br />rivers under Federal' administration. Nothing in the Act or the legis-
<br />lative history indicates that the limitations on the construction of
<br />water resources projects should apply differently to those rivers
<br />authorized for inclusion by Act of Congress from those adopted through
<br />the State legislative process and approved by the Secretary.
