Subtitle D—Wild and Scenic Rivers 

SEC. 1301. LOWER FARMINGTON RIVER AND SALMON BROOK WILD 

AND SCENIC RIVER. 

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 

(1) the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Study 

Act of 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; 

(2) the studied segments of the Lower Farmington River 

and Salmon Brook support natural, cultural, and recreational 

resources of exceptional significance to the citizens of Connecticut and the Nation; 

(3) concurrently with the preparation of the study, the 

Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild and Scenic 

Study Committee prepared the Lower Farmington River and 

Salmon Brook Management Plan, June 2011 (referred to in 

this section as the ‘‘management plan’’), that establishes objectives, standards, 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; 

(4) the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild 

and Scenic Study Committee has voted in favor of Wild and 

Scenic River designation for the river segments, and has 

included this recommendation as an integral part of the 

management plan; 

(5) there is strong local support for the protection of the 

Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook, including votes 

of support for Wild and Scenic designation from the governing 

bodies of all ten communities abutting the study area; 

(6) the State of Connecticut General Assembly has endorsed 

the designation of the Lower Farmington River and Salmon 

Brook as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers 

System (Public Act 08–37); and 

(7) the Rainbow Dam and Reservoir are located entirely 

outside of the river segment designated by subsection (b), and, 
S. 47—106 

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 subsection (b).
