2005 (Public Law 109-370) authorized the study of the Farmington
River downstream from the segment designated as a recreational
river by section 3(a)(156) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16
U.S.C. 1277(a)(156)) to its confluence with the Connecticut
River, and the segment of the Salmon Brook including its main
stem and east and west branches for potential inclusion in the
National Wild and Scenic Rivers System;

Salmon Brook support natural, cultural, and recreational
resources of exceptional significance to the citizens of

Committee prepared the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook
Management Plan, June 2011 (referred to in this section as the

and action programs that will ensure the long-term protection of
the outstanding values of the river segments without Federal
management of affected lands not owned by the United States;

Scenic Study Committee has voted in favor of Wild and Scenic
River designation for the river segments, and has included this

as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System
(Public Act 08-37); and

[[Page 133 STAT. 685]]
based on the findings of the study of the Lower Farmington River
pursuant to Public Law 109-370, this hydroelectric project
(including all aspects of its facilities, operations, and
transmission lines) is compatible with the designation made by
