SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Lower Farmington River and Salmon
Brook Wild and Scenic River Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The 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, 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 section 3 of this
Act, and, 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 section 3 of this Act.
