Bill overview
The River Democracy Act amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate specific river segments in Oregon as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. It focuses on areas within the Rogue River watershed, including Quosatana Creek and Shasta Costa Creek, and expands the system to include portions of the Snake River and Illinois River. The bill also directs the Secretary of the Interior and Agriculture to develop comprehensive management plans for these designated segments, addressing wildfire risk, culturally significant native species, and ecological function, while protecting existing water rights and private property interests.
