Bill > HR1230

This bill, titled the Molalla River Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, proposes to add specific segments of the Molalla River and its Table Rock Fork in Oregon to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, which protects rivers for their outstanding natural and cultural values. The bill designates approximately 15.1 miles of the Molalla River and 6.2 miles of the Table Rock Fork Molalla River as "recreational rivers," meaning they are generally accessible and may have some degree of development. These designated areas will be managed by the Secretary of the Interior, and importantly, the federal land within these boundaries will be withdrawn from activities like mining, mineral leasing, and disposal under public land laws, ensuring their protection, though valid existing rights are preserved. Additionally, the bill includes technical corrections to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, amending the names of a creek and a ditch to reflect current usage.
