<br />001134 <br /> <br />Section 5(a) list under Public Law 90-542 (Wild and Scenic <br />Rivers Act) in order to determine whether they should be <br />included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This action <br /> <br />would require Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, U. S. Forest <br /> <br />Service, or National Park Service-led studies of each of the <br /> <br />rivers involved. <br /> <br />b. Another means for protecting any or all of the rivers with <br /> <br />identified free-flowing values would be to include them in <br /> <br />a state wild and scenic river or state waterways system. <br /> <br />HQwever, state legislation is needed that will provide for <br /> <br /> <br />either (1) a study to determine the exact provisions that <br /> <br /> <br />state scenic river status would carry, developments and <br /> <br /> <br />~ccess--if any--that would be required, and which streams <br /> <br />should be in the system, or (2) establishment of an "instant" <br /> <br />system of specifically named sections of state wild and <br /> <br />scenic rivers, along with fairly detailed provisions for <br /> <br />area control, acquisition, protection, administration, as <br /> <br />well as study and future inclusion of additional candidate <br /> <br />rivers. <br /> <br />WILD AND SCL~IC RIVERS - CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />Both of the alternatives listed earlier, i.e., (a) study of top <br /> <br /> <br />priority rivers for potential inclusion in the National Wild <br /> <br /> <br />and Scenic Rivers System and (b) establishment of a State <br /> <br /> <br />System of Scenic and Wild Rivers, should be implemented. <br /> <br />7 <br />
