New Jersey's Upper Raritan River would be studied for national protection.
This bill would start a federal study of New Jersey's Upper Raritan River Watershed. The study would look into whether parts of the river system should join the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, which protects important natural areas. If passed, the Department of the Interior would conduct this study and report its findings to Congress.
Today, the Upper Raritan River Watershed in New Jersey is not being formally evaluated for national protection. If this bill passes, specific parts of the river system would be chosen for a federal study. This study would see if they qualify for the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Department of the Interior would then need to do this study. It would also report its findings to Congress within three years of getting the needed money.
