The California Wild and Scenic Rivers Act includes specified rivers and segments thereof within the California Wild and Scenic River system, which are subject to various protections under the act. Existing law requires the Natural Resources Agency to coordinate the activities of state agencies whose activities affect the rivers in the system, as specified, and to study and submit to the Governor and the Legislature reports on the suitability or nonsuitability of designated potential additions to the system.

This bill would include within the system specified segments of the Mokelumne River, and would designate those segments as wild, scenic, or recreational.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

P1    1

SECTION 1.  

The Legislature finds and declares both of the
2following:

P2    1(a) The Mokelumne River contains extraordinary scenic,
2recreational, historical, cultural, and water quality values of
3statewide significance that deserve to be preserved in their
4free-flowing state for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of
5the state.

6(b) In designating the Mokelumne River as a component of the
7California Wild and Scenic River System, it is the intent of the
8Legislature that this act will accomplish the preservation of those
9values.
