Bill > HR934

This bill amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to adjust the designated length of a segment of the Lower Merced River in California. Specifically, it changes the endpoint of the wild and scenic designation to align with the boundary of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project No. 2179 as it existed on February 15, 2013, which is approximately 2,480 feet downstream of the confluence with the North Fork of the Merced River, resulting in a designated segment of approximately 7.4 miles. The bill also revises provisions related to the water surface level of Lake McClure, setting its boundary to the same FERC Project No. 2179 limit. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is a federal law that protects certain rivers for their outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values. FERC is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, an independent agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil.
