"Some development along their shorelines" means that lands may be developed for the full range of agricultural uses and could include small communities as well as dis- persed or cluster residential developments. 3. "Undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past" means that there may be water resources developments and di- versions having an environmental impact greater than that described for wild and scenic river areas. However, the degree of such development should not be to the extent that the water has the characteristics of an impoundment for any significant distance. Future construction of impoundments, diversions, straighten- ing, rip-rapping, and other modification of the waterway or adjacent lsnds would not be permitted except in instances where such developments would not have a direct and adverse effect on the values for which that river area was included in the national system as determined by the Secretary charged with the administration of the area. In the case of rivers added to the national system pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), such construction could result in a determination by the Secretary of the Interior to reclassify or withdraw the affected river area from the system. .Management objectives. Management of recreational river areas should be designed to protect and enhance existing recreational values. The pri~ry objectives will be to provide opportunities for engaging in racreation activities dependent on or enhanced by the largely free-flowing nature of the river. Campgrounds and picnic areas may be established in close proximity to the river, although recreational river classi- fication does not require extensive recreational develop- ments. Recreational facilities may still be kept to a mini- mum, with visitor services provided outside the river area. Adopted: ~.~..~ ~-~-7o Department of the Interior (Date) ;(-3-7tfJ (Date) -11-
