M.H. Dutch Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act
This bill designates specified segments of rivers and creeks of the Gila River system in New Mexico as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and transfers 440 acres of land from the Gila National Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings Monument.
The Department of the Interior or the Department of Agriculture (USDA) must consult with tribal governments, applicable political subdivisions of states, and interested members of the public when preparing the comprehensive management plan for such segments pursuant to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
Any nonfederal land within or adjacent to such a segment that is acquired by the United States shall be incorporated in, and be administered as part of, the applicable segment.
No land or interest in land shall be acquired without the owner's consent.
Interior or USDA may authorize the construction of a native fish habitat restoration project within such a segment if the project
- would enhance the recovery of a threatened or endangered species, a sensitive species, or a species of greatest conservation need, including the Gila Trout; and
- would not unreasonably diminish the free-flowing nature or outstandingly remarkable values of the segment.
Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 685.
