BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.) pre-
serves certain rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and rec-
reational values in a free-flowing condition. Wild and scenic rivers
are designated only by Congress. They can be classified as either
wild, scenic or recreational, with the most protection afforded wild
rivers.1 As of December 2014, 208 rivers in 40 States and Puerto
Rico affecting 12,734 miles of waterways are included in the Wild
and Scenic River System.2
The East Rosebud Creek is located in Carbon County, Montana,
just north of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness in the Custer Na-
I http://www.nps.gov/orgs/1912/index.htm.
