Bill overview
This bill establishes the Dolores River National Conservation Area and the Dolores River Special Management Area in Colorado to protect natural, recreational, scenic, cultural, and historical resources along the Dolores River. The Conservation Area encompasses approximately 52,872 acres of BLM land, while the Special Management Area covers around 15,452 acres of National Forest land. The bill directs the Department of the Interior to manage these areas, allowing for traditional tribal uses and prohibiting road construction and motorized vehicles in designated areas like Ponderosa Gorge, and releases segments of the river from further Wild and Scenic Rivers System consideration.
