M.H. Dutch Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act

This bill designates specific segments of New Mexico's Gila River system as Wild and Scenic Rivers, protecting them from development while preserving existing rights. It classifies over 50 river segments totaling hundreds of miles as "wild," "recreational," or "scenic" rivers and withdraws federal lands within these areas from mining, logging, and other development activities. The legislation also modifies boundaries of Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and Gila National Forest to incorporate these protected areas. Existing water rights, grazing permits, and mining operations remain unaffected by the designation. The bill aims to protect the ecological and recreational value of these rivers while respecting current land uses and rights.
