This bill designates and expands wilderness areas in the Olympic National Forest in Washington state and designates certain rivers in the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park as wild and scenic rivers. The bill establishes new wilderness areas, adds land to existing wilderness areas, and designates over 19 river segments as wild, scenic, or recreational under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The bill also withdraws the designated federal lands from new mining, mineral leasing, and other development activities, while preserving existing rights and treaty rights. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to update land management plans to incorporate the new wilderness and wild and scenic river designations within a specified timeframe.
