0 <br />• The need for protection of the rare and endangered <br />species; <br />• The need to preserve white water boating opportunities; <br />• Increased regulation would discourage use by the <br />occasional user; <br />• The need to protect scenic, archeologic, and wildlife <br />values; <br />• The potential impact upon private land owners through <br />access and scenic easements; <br />• The river is wild by its own nature; thus, designation is <br />not needed. <br />Study Team Recommendatio <br />The study team recommended that 55.7 miles of the Colorado <br />River and 31 miles of the Dolores River be designated components <br />of the National System with classification of reaches as set <br />forth above under the "Eligibility and Classifcation" section. <br />Impacts of Designation (from Stu Report) <br />Inclusion of 55.7 miles of the Colorado and 31 miles of the <br />Dolores River in the National Wild and River System would <br />ensure that the rivers' free flowing condition and the natural <br />values of the rivers and their associated land areas would be <br />maintained. This action would have two primary effects. Desig- <br />nating the river would preclude federally licensed or assisted <br />water development projects and other incompatible developments <br />within the corridor, and would also increase recreation use and <br />the attendant visitor impacts. <br />Current Legislation <br />There is no current. legislation pending on the Colorado and <br />Lower Dolores Rivers. <br />/bm <br />-3- <br />
