<br />wild rivers and scenic rivers. You left the word "scenic" in. But I <br />think everybody should understand what the definition of the scenic <br />river ~ is. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Berthelson: We cut it out of the amended motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Kuiper: Okay, let me just read the definition of the scenic river <br />area as in this memo. "Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free <br />of impoundments, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive <br />and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads." <br />I just thought the board should be aware of the definition of what a <br />scenic river is. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />A wild river--Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of <br />impoundments and generally inaccessible except by trail, with watersheds <br />or shorelines essentially primitive and waters unpolluted. <br /> <br />~. Ten Evck: I think the whole purpose of the motion is to tell the <br />feds to go ahead with the study and when they make the study they will <br />have to come back and say, "Well, this isn't a wild river, it doesn't <br />meet the criteria. This isn't even a scenic river. it doesn't meet <br />those criteria." Or whatever, but that is the purpose of it. <br /> <br />~r. Stapleton: Would you read the motion again slowly then, Si? <br /> <br />Mr. Berthelson: I can't read my own writing. "We recommend that the <br />federal government proceed with the detailed study of the area reserving <br />the right to comment after completion of the study." <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Is that understood? <br /> <br />Mr. Burr: Mr. Chairman. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Yes, sir. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Burr: There is one thing I would like to say. This is happening <br />just like the wilderness area did a few years ago. It went through the <br />Water Congress as Mr. Barnard will remember, and we had quite a hassle. <br />Now we can't even get any kind of a vehicle up there. You can't do <br />anything in the wilderness area, but take a horse about thirty miles <br />which is taking in a lot of territory and it is getting larger all the <br />while. This is going to be happening on this thing. It is just another <br />duplicate. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Save your remarks for the next agenda item, then. <br /> <br />-21- <br />
