To designate and expand wilderness areas in Olympic National Forest in 
  the State of Washington, and to designate certain rivers in Olympic 
 National Forest and Olympic National Park as wild and scenic rivers, 
                        and for other purposes.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Wild Olympics Wilderness and Wild 
and Scenic Rivers Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) wilderness and wild and scenic river designations 
        provide myriad benefits to the local community and beyond, 
        including--
                    (A) recreation, as evidenced by the more than 
                12,000,000 visitors each year to wilderness areas who 
                participate in recreation activities such as hiking, 
                horseback riding, hunting, fishing, skiing, climbing, 
                camping, and floating and rafting;
                    (B) wildlife habitat, by providing permanent and 
                durable protection for habitat for varied wildlife 
                species, including endangered species;
                    (C) clean water for local communities that rely on 
                the Olympic National Forest as the source for clean and 
                safe drinking water;
                    (D) municipal watersheds for cities such as Port 
                Townsend, Washington;
                    (E) the ancient forests, salmon streams, and unique 
                scenery of the Olympic National Forest, which provide 
                local businesses with a competitive edge over other 
                regions in attracting and retaining the talented people 
                required by local companies;
                    (F) the popular National Parks, monuments, 
                wilderness areas, and other public land of the West, 
                which have provided a competitive advantage to the 
                growing high technology and professional services 
                industries of the West, such as health care, education, 
                and business, enabling the West to outperform the rest 
                of the United States economy in key measures of growth, 
                including employment, population, and personal income 
                during the 4 decades immediately preceding the date of 
                enactment of this Act; and
                    (G) protecting and enhancing local travel, tourism, 
                hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation industries;
            (2) under the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.)--
                    (A) land designated as wilderness protects 
                ``ecological, geological, or other features of 
                scientific, scenic, or historical value'';
                    (B) Federal agencies retain the ability to use any 
                means necessary to protect and control fire, insects, 
                and diseases, subject to such terms and conditions as 
                the Secretary determines to be appropriate; and
                    (C) wilderness designations do not apply to private 
                land;
            (3) this Act does not designate private land inholdings as 
        wilderness;
            (4) under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et 
        seq.)--
                    (A) certain rivers are preserved to safeguard 
                outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values 
                for current and future generations;
                    (B) designation as a wild and scenic river does not 
                give the Federal Government control over private 
                property and provides no additional authority for 
                expanding designated river segments, except as provided 
                in this Act and other Acts;
                    (C) existing water rights are not impacted;
                    (D) the jurisdiction of the States and the Federal 
                Government over waters are not impacted, as determined 
                by established principles of law; and
                    (E) river segments classified as ``scenic'' or 
                ``recreational'' allow construction of new access 
                points, restoration thinning, and motorized access;
            (5) the areas protected under this Act unquestionably meet 
        all requirements under Federal law (including regulations), as 
        the areas contain--
                    (A) old growth stands, temperate rain forests, and 
                large swaths of roadless forests, more than 99 percent 
                of which could not be commercially harvested under 
                existing Federal law (including regulations);
                    (B) the wilderness areas established under this Act 
                are areas that are prized by hikers, hunters, anglers, 
                and others and will be preserved and protected for 
                recreational enjoyment for generations to come; and
                    (C) rivers and tributaries that--
                            (i) are a source of clean water for many 
                        communities on the Olympic Peninsula; and
                            (ii) provide important habitat for salmon 
                        and other species of fish and supply the cold 
                        freshwater that feeds the Puget Sound and 
                        creates the necessary conditions for clams, 
                        oysters, and mussels, whose growers contribute 
                        more than $250,000,000 to the economy and 
                        support thousands of jobs in the State of 
                        Washington;
            (6) as a result of this Act--
                    (A) no roads would be closed;
                    (B) management decisions by local Forest Service 
                managers as to which roads should be closed, 
                maintained, or remain open for public access will not 
                be impacted and any ongoing travel management processes 
                will continue to be the manner by which those decisions 
                are made, along with public input; and
                    (C) no private land would be subject to management 
                under the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) or 
                the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et 
                seq.);
            (7) private property rights are central to the United 
        States and the economy of the United States, and it shall be 
        the policy of the United States to encourage, support, and 
        promote the private ownership of property to ensure that the 
        constitutional and other legal rights of private property 
        owners are not abridged by the Federal Government;
            (8) the Olympic Peninsula is home to 8 federally recognized 
        Indian tribes; and
            (9) the United States acknowledges the trust obligations of 
        the Federal Government to Indian tribes and recognizes that--
                    (A) the case styled United States v. Washington 
                (384 F. Supp. 312) guaranteed certain Indian tribes in 
                the State of Washington harvest rights to Pacific 
                salmon, leading to employment opportunities for tribal 
                members;
                    (B) tribal governments provide a wide range of 
                critical services to enrolled members, including 
                education and cultural activities;
                    (C) Indian tribes engage in ongoing efforts to 
                restore and improve salmon populations and habitat 
                across the Olympic Peninsula, frequently in conjunction 
                with Federal, State, and local governments and private 
                stakeholders; and
                    (D) ongoing tribal efforts to protect and improve 
                salmon habitat and the habitats of other threatened 
                species populations are encouraged and supported in 
                order to support the long-term health of the ecosystem 
                and the economic benefit those resources provide.
