S. Fish <br />and Wildlife Service Wildlife Management Area located along <br />this segment? <br />c) What effect would designation of this segment have on private <br />lands located along this segment of the river? <br /> <br />inclUSion in the National syst~m would offer Segment B ~reater protection, <br />than currently exists.
