Federal Protection And

Preservation Of Wild And

Scenic Rivers Is Slow And Costly



Few rivers have beef, added to the national
wild and scenic rivers system under the Wld
and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. The national
system is growing slowly, and processes for
adding rivers are not functioning well. The
preservat;on of rivers currently in the system
has also progressed slowly. Acquisition of
lands and easements as a preservation strat-
egy has proven controversial, tine consum-
ing, and increasingly costly. To fulfill the
objectives of the act, the Departments of
Agriculture and the Interior will have to ex-
pedite and improve the processesforaddina
rivers to the system and will have to develop
and use aiternatve preservation strategies.
