involved in wi.l.dC1:1 a clas.;.i I ic:�t. yin lur Lhe tJi L�Ic:rnuss <br />Act of 1964. Urte major disL:ittcti.oii, in conLraSL to wl.lder- <br />ness, is that a wild river area ;tl.;o ulny contain recruation <br />facilities for the conveniWlec of Lhe user in keupi.ng with <br />the primitive setting. <br />1. An "impoundment" is a slack waLer pool foritted by any <br />man -made structure. lsxcept in rare instances in which <br />esthetic and recreatioltal ch u-actut: i.st: i.c:; are of t;ucll ottL- <br />standing quality as to coutiLurbalalieu Lhe disruptive nature <br />of an impoundment, such features will not be allowed on wild <br />river areas. Future consLrttcLi.on OF such structures that <br />would have a direct and 'ldver :u: effect: on Lhe val.uc:; for <br />which that river area was i.ncluded in Lhe national systun, <br />as determined by the Secretary charged with the adntinisLra- <br />tion of the area, would not be peruli.LLed. In Lhe case of <br />rivers added to thu Hat i"MiI :;y:;C.em [nir: ;urutL Cu Sec•.

"Generally inaccessible" means Lkere are no roads or <br />other provisions for overland motorized travel within a <br />narrow, incised river valley, or if the river valley is <br />broad, within 1/4 mile of the riverbank. The presence, how- <br />ever, of one or two inconspicuous roads leading to the river <br />area will not necessarily bar wild river classification. <br />3. "Essentially primitiva" means the shorelines are free of <br />habitation and other substantial evidence of man's intrusion. <br />This would include such things as diversions, straightening, <br />rip - rapping, and other modifications of the waterway. These <br />would not be permitted except in instances where such de- <br />velopments would not have a direct and adverse effect on the <br />values for which that river area was included in the national <br />system as determined by the Secretary charged with the admin- <br />istration of the area. Tn Lhe ca:5e of rivers added to the, <br />national system pursuant to Section L(a)(ii), such construc- <br />tion could result in a determination by the Secretary of the <br />Interior to reclassify or withdraw the affected river area <br />from the system. With respect to watersheds, "essentially <br />primitive" means that the portion of the waLersiied within Lire <br />boundaries has a natural -like appearance. As with shorelines, <br />developments within the boundaries should emphasize a natural- <br />-6- <br />
