                        to mineral and geothermal leasing or mineral 
                        materials.''.

                                Purpose

    The purposes of S. 353 are to authorize the Secretary of 
the Interior to undertake three land exchanges in the State of 
Oregon; to designate certain river segments of the Molalla, 
Chetco, and Rogue Rivers in Oregon and their tributaries as 
components of the National Wild and Scenic River System; and to 
designate the Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven wilderness areas 
and additions to the Wild Rogue Wilderness on Federal lands in 
Oregon.

                          Background and Need

    The Chetco, Rogue, and Molalla Rivers are important 
watersheds west of the Cascade Mountains. Together, they 
provide critical spawning habitat for several fish species--
including salmon, steelhead, and green sturgeon. The rivers 
also are popular recreation destinations for kayaking, rafting, 
hiking, biking, camping, hunting, and fishing.
    Parts of the Chetco River are already designated under the 
Wild and Scenic Act, and this bill would change some of the 
previous classifications from ``scenic'' to ``wild'' and from 
``recreational'' to ``scenic.'' The bill also addresses a long-
standing concern for the sensitivity of the Chetco river system 
by withdrawing lands from mineral entry along the river 
extending from the Kalmiopsis Wilderness within the Rogue 
River-Siskiyou National Forest (RR-SNF).
    The Rogue River was one of the eight original rivers 
designated in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act in 1968. S. 353 
would add an additional 35 tributaries and nearly 93 additional 
miles of the Rogue Rive to the Wild and Scenic River 
designation.
    S. 353 would also designate approximately 15 miles of the 
Molalla River and 6.2 miles of its Table Rock Fork as additions 
to the Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) has determined the Molalla River and the Table 
Rock Fork are appropriate for wild and scenic designation. Such 
a designation would cause few changes to BLM's current 
administration of the rivers, and is consistent with the 
designation of the adjacent Table Rock Wilderness, which was 
established in 1984.
    S. 353 designates two new wilderness areas in Oregon and 
makes significant additions to a previously-designated 
wilderness area. The Wild Rogue Wilderness was first 
established in 1978, totaling 36,000 acres. S. 353 adds 
approximately 58,000 acres to the Wild Rogue Wilderness. The 
bill also provides for the designation of two new wilderness 
areas on lands BLM lands--the Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven 
Wilderness Areas, if certain lands are acquired. Located along 
the John Day Wild and Scenic River, the Cathedral Rock 
Wilderness include Wagner Mountain, the highest point in the 
area. The nearby Horse Heaven Wilderness, which was named for 
its abundant grasslands, includes rolling plains and steep 
terrain.
    To facilitate the designation of the Cathedral Rock and 
Horse Heaven wilderness areas, S. 353 provides for three equal-
value land exchanges, exchanging private lands for scattered 
parcels of BLM land in the area. Addressing the 
``checkerboard'' landownership will reduce the significant 
administrative and resource management challenges for both the 
BLM and the private landowners in an area west of the John Day 
River that is characterized by distinctive high-desert scenery, 
sensitive fish and wildlife habitat, and outstanding 
recreational opportunities.

                          Legislative History

    Senators Wyden and Merkley introduced S. 353 on February 
14, 2013. The Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining 
held a hearing on S. 353 on April 25, 2013. At its business 
meeting on June 18, 2013, the Committee ordered the bill 
favorably reported with an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute.
    S. 353 combines elements from several bills considered by 
the Committee in the 112th Congress: S. 403, S. 607, S. 764, 
and S. 2001 (an in some cases, predecessor legislation in the 
111th Congress).
    S. 403, the Molalla River Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, was 
introduced by Senators Wyden and Merkley on February 17, 2012. 
The Subcommittee on National Parks held a hearing on S. 403 on 
May 11, 2011 (S. Hrg. 112-124).

                        Committee Recommendation

    The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in 
open business session on May 16, 2013, by a voice vote of a 
quorum present, recommends that the Senate pass S. 353, if 
amended as described herein.

                          Committee Amendment

    During its consideration of S. 353, the Committee adopted 
an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The amendment 
incorporates several technical, clarifying, and conforming 
changes, including updated map references and acreages for the 
wilderness areas and wild and scenic river designations. The 
amendment also clarifies the interim management of areas prior 
to designation as wilderness.
    The amendment is explained in detail in the section-by-
section analysis, below.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

    Section 1 provides the short title, ``Oregon Treasures Act 
of 2013.''
    Section 2(a) defines key terms used in this section, 
relating to the Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven wilderness 
areas.
    Subsection (b)(1) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 
(Secretary) to enter into land exchanges with private 
landowners involving specified Federal land and non-Federal 
land. The subsection describes the lands to be exchanged for 
the Smith Exchange, the Shrum Exchange, and the Young Life 
Exchange.
    The Committee is aware that there are grazing permittees 
within the proposed Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven 
Wildernesses who have expressed an interest in retiring those 
permits and acquiring permits outside of the proposed 
wilderness boundaries. If these grazing permittees make such a 
proposal to the federal land agencies, the Committee encourages 
the Federal land agencies to evaluate whether it may serve the 
public interest.
    Paragraph (2) requires that each land exchange be carried 
out in accordance with section 206 of the Federal Land Policy 
and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716), including the 
requirement that the Secretary determine that the public 
interest will be well served by making the exchange.
    Paragraph (3) adds additional conditions to the land 
exchanges: that the exchanges be subject to valid existing 
rights; that the private landowners make a conveyance offer 
within three years of the date of enactment; that the private 
landowners pay at least 50 percent of all related costs; that 
the title to the non-Federal land be acceptable and conforming; 
that any sites determined to be eligible for the National 
Register of Historic Places not be included in the exchange and 
limited in size to the smallest necessary area; and that any 
further conditions the Secretaries of the Interior or 
Agriculture deem necessary will apply.
    Paragraph (4) provides that the value of the lands to be 
exchanged shall be equal as determined by appraisals in 
accordance with subparagraph (B) or equalized in accordance 
with subparagraph (c).
    Paragraph (5) requires that the acreage and legal 
descriptions of the lands to be exchanged shall be determined 
by surveys approved by the Secretary.
    Paragraph (6) states that it is the intent of Congress that 
the land exchanges should be completed no later than 5 years 
from the enactment date.
    Paragraph (7) transfers administrative jurisdiction over 
750 acres of Federal land from Bureau of Land Management to the 
Forest Service. The Secretary of Agriculture is required to 
administer the lands in accordance with certain laws and to pay 
the costs of the transfer.
    Subsection (c)(1) designates as wilderness the Cathedral 
Rock and Horse Heaven areas, as depicted on the proposed 
wilderness map on the earlier of the date on which the 
Secretary publishes a federal register notice, that sufficient 
inholdings within the areas have been acquired to establish a 
manageable wilderness area, or when certain, specified 
inholding sections have been acquired. Subparagraph (C) directs 
the Secretary to prepare, file, and make publicly available a 
map and legal description of each wilderness area.
    Subparagraph (D) describes the administration of the 
wilderness areas, directing that each be administered, subject 
to existing rights, according to the Wilderness Act and that 
existing grazing shall continue, tribal rights shall not be 
affected, state fish and wildlife responsibilities shall not be 
affected, the land adjacent to the wilderness areas shall not 
affected by the wilderness designation, later acquired lands or 
interests within the wilderness boundaries shall become part of 
the wilderness, and if the local county and the private 
landowners come to an access agreement for Cathedral Rock 
Wilderness via Muddy Creek Road then that access is authorized.
    Paragraph (2) provides for interim management before the 
areas are designated as wilderness, directing the Federal land 
to be managed for protection of any cultural and archaeological 
resources and for keeping the wilderness characteristics that 
make the lands suitable for designation.
    Paragraph (3) withdraws, subject to valid existing rights, 
the existing Federal lands and any land later acquired by the 
Federal government from: entry, appropriation, or disposal 
under the public land laws; location, entry, and patent under 
the mining laws; and regulation under the mineral leasing, 
mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws.
    Paragraph (4)(A) provides that paragraphs (1) and (2) shall 
cease to be effective if Cathedral Rock Wilderness is 
designated as wilderness within 10 years from enactment. 
Paragraph (B) contains an identical provision for the Horse 
Heaven Wilderness.
    Section 3(a) defines key terms used in this section, which 
relates to additions to the Wild Rogue Wilderness Area.
    Subsection (b)(1) provides that approximately 56,100 acres 
of Federal land shall be added to and administered as part of 
the Wild Rogue Wilderness, with the Secretary of the Interior 
and the Secretary of Agriculture administering the BLM and 
Forest Service land under their respective jurisdiction.
    Paragraph (2) directs the respective secretaries to 
prepare, file, and make publicly available a map and legal 
description of each wilderness area.
    Paragraph (3) withdraws, subject to valid existing rights, 
the Wilderness additions from: entry, appropriation, or 
disposal under the public land laws; location, entry, and 
patent under the mining laws; and regulation under the mineral 
leasing, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws.
    Subsection (c) provides that approximately 600 acres of 
land depicted on the referenced map as ``Potential Wilderness'' 
is to be designated as wilderness and managed as part of the 
Wild Rogue Wilderness at such at time as the Secretary of the 
Interior determines the conditions which are incompatible with 
wilderness no longer exist. This subsection also directs the 
Secretary to manage this area to protect its suitability for 
future designation as wilderness. Furthermore, the subsection 
withdraws, subject to valid existing rights, the potential 
wilderness acres from: entry, appropriation, or disposal under 
the public land laws; location, entry, and patent under the 
mining laws; and regulation under the mineral leasing, mineral 
materials, and geothermal leasing laws.
    Subsection (d) provides that the approximately 4,000 acres 
of land depicted on the referenced map as ``Withdrawal Area'' 
is to be withdrawn, subject to valid existing rights, from 
entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public land laws; 
location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and 
regulation under the mineral leasing, mineral materials, and 
geothermal leasing laws. The subsection also prohibits the 
establishment within the area of permanent roads, commercial 
endeavors, and motor vehicle use and temporary roads--except as 
needed to protect public health and safety. Additionally, this 
subsection directs the Secretary to prepare, file, and make 
publicly available a map and legal description of the 
withdrawal areas.
    Subsection (e) amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to 
update the designation for the Rogue River to include 
additional segments of the river and many of its tributaries. 
The river segments are withdrawn, subject to valid existing 
rights, from entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public 
land laws; location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; 
and regulation under the mineral leasing, mineral materials, 
and geothermal leasing laws.
    Subsection (f) provides for the specified protection for 
segments of the listed tributaries of the Rogue River. These 
segments are withdrawn for a quarter mile on each side of the 
stream, subject to valid existing rights, from entry, 
appropriation, or disposal under the public land laws; 
location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and 
regulation under the mineral leasing, mineral materials, and 
geothermal leasing laws. This subsection directs the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission to not license any project on 
these stream segments or that would affect them. This 
subsection also prohibits any other Federal agency from 
involvement in a project that would affect these stream 
segments, except for upkeep of existing projects at the date of 
enactment or any projects that are primarily oriented toward 
environmental restoration that provides a net benefit for water 
quality and aquatic resources.
    Section 4(a) amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to 
designate a 15.1 mile segment of the Molalla River and a 6.2 
mile segment of the Table Rock Fork Molalla River as a 
``recreational'' river. It also withdraws, subject to valid 
existing rights, these segments from: entry, appropriation, or 
disposal under the public land laws; location, entry, and 
patent under the mining laws; and regulation under the mineral 
leasing, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws.
    Subsection (b) amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to 
update the names of creeks and ditches within the 15.4 mile 
segment that historically was called ``Squaw Creek'' and now is 
known as ``Whychus Creek.''
    Section 5 amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to modify 
existing wild and scenic designations along the Chetco River in 
Oregon. The ``wild'' segment increases two miles from 25.5 to 
27.5. The ``scenic'' segment decreases by 0.5 miles from 8 to 
7.5. The ``recreational'' segment decreases 1.5 miles from 11 
to 9.5. It also withdraws, subject to valid existing rights, 
these segments from: entry, appropriation, or disposal under 
the public land laws; location, entry, and patent under the 
mining laws; and regulation under the mineral leasing, mineral 
materials, and geothermal leasing laws.

                   Cost and Budgetary Considerations

    The following estimate of costs of this measure has been 
provided by the Congressional Budget Office:

S. 353--Oregon Treasures Act of 2013

    S. 353 would authorize the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 
and the Forest Service to exchange roughly 15,000 acres of 
federal land for private lands totaling 12,000 acres. The bill 
also would add a total of 55,000 acres of federal lands in 
Oregon to the National Wilderness Preservation System. Finally, 
the bill would designate certain tributaries of the Rogue and 
Molalla Rivers in Oregon as components of the National Wild and 
Scenic Rivers System.
    Based on information provided by the affected agencies, CBO 
estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant 
impact on the federal budget. Enacting the legislation could 
increase offsetting receipts and associated direct spending; 
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO expects 
that any such changes would be small and would have no net 
impact on direct spending over the 2014-2023 period. Enacting 
S. 353 would not affect revenues.
    S. 353 would authorize the Secretary to accept private 
lands in exchange for federal lands. In addition, the bill 
would allow the Secretary to accept a cash payment to equalize 
the values of the properties that would be exchanged. Formal 
appraisals of the properties have not been completed. Based on 
the values of similar properties in the area, CBO expects that 
the land being exchanged would be worth between $300 and $500 
per acre and that the cash equalization payment would be 
roughly $1 million because the federal government would receive 
about 3,000 fewer acres than it would convey to private 
entities. Any amounts received from a cash equalization payment 
would be retained by the agency and spent, without further 
appropriation, to acquire other lands in Oregon. CBO expects 
that those amounts would be collected and spent within five 
years of enactment of the bill.
    The acreage and waterways that would be added by the 
legislation to the National Wilderness Preservation System and 
the Wild and Scenic Rivers System are currently administered by 
BLM or the Forest Service. Because those areas are already 
being managed for wilderness values, CBO estimates that minimal 
additional funds would be required to manage the affected areas 
as a result of the new designations.
    S. 353 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Maggie 
Morrissey and Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by Theresa 
Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

                      Regulatory Impact Evaluation

    In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following 
evaluation of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in 
carrying out S. 353.
    The bill is not a regulatory measure in the sense of 
imposing Government-established standards or significant 
economic responsibilities on private individuals and 
businesses.
    No personal information would be collected in administering 
the program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal 
privacy.
    Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the 
enactment of S. 353, as ordered reported.

                   Congressionally Directed Spending

    S. 353, as reported, does not contain any congressionally 
directed spending items, limited tax benefits, or limited 
tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the Standing Rules 
of the Senate.

                        Executive Communications

    The testimony provided by the Bureau of Land Management and 
the Forest Service at the April 25, 2013, Subcommittee on 
Public Lands, Forests, and Mining hearing on S. 353 follows:

  Statement of Jamie Connell, Acting Deputy Director, Bureau of Land 
                 Management, Department of the Interior

    Thank you for inviting the Department of the Interior to 
testify on S. 353, the Oregon Treasures Act. The Department 
supports S. 353 and would welcome the opportunity to work with 
the Chairman on some minor modifications to this legislation. 
S. 353 includes wilderness and wild and scenic river 
designations in three areas of Oregon: Cathedral Rock and Horse 
Heaven along the John Day River, the Wild Rogue in southwestern 
Oregon, and the Molalla River in northern Oregon. This 
legislation would conserve and protect these special places 
that are treasured both locally and nationally.


                cathedral rock & horse heaven wilderness


Background
    Along the western bank of the John Day Wild and Scenic 
River are lands proposed to become the Cathedral Rock 
Wilderness. The lands planned for designation range from the 
cliffs and canyons along the river heading westerly to steep 
rolling hills punctuated by rocky escarpments. Wagner Mountain 
is located in the center of the proposed wilderness and is the 
highest point in the area. The geology is dominated by ancient 
volcanics, composed of andesite flows, plugs, and domes. The 
entire area is covered in rhyolite ash-flows which produce 
dramatic red, white, and buff colored soils. Hunters and hikers 
alike enjoy the breathtaking scenery as well as the resident 
mule deer and elk populations, while rafters brave the John 
Day's rapids. Cultural sites showcase prehistoric fossils, 
stone tools, and rock art.
    Four miles to the southwest of the Cathedral Rock region is 
the proposed Horse Heaven Wilderness. The name reflects 
Oregon's pioneer past when the flawless grasslands of the areas 
were a closely guarded secret. Today that secret is out, and a 
wide range of recreationists enjoy the area's many 
opportunities. At more than 4,000 feet, Horse Heaven Mountain 
serves as a worthy centerpiece to a diverse landscape 
illustrating Oregon's high and low countries. Traveling south, 
rolling plains and steep terrain dominate the area; to the 
west, Muddy Creek is the area's lone perennial stream. Prairie 
steppes throughout connect hearty shrubs and woodlands that 
demonstrate steadfast resolve to thrive in the rocky soil.
S. 353, Section 2
    The legislation provides for the exchange of lands between 
three private parties and the Federal government which would 
allow the consolidation of fragmented land patterns, the 
designation of two new potential wilderness areas, and a 
process for those areas becoming designated wilderness and 
components of the National Wilderness Preservation System. 
Should the land exchanges be completed, the additional land 
would greatly enhance the wilderness quality and manageability 
of the two areas proposed for wilderness.
    The bill (section 2(b)) outlines a series of land exchanges 
with three private parties. Under section 206 of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) has the authority to undertake land exchanges 
that are in the public interest. Exchanges allow the BLM to 
acquire environmentally-sensitive lands while transferring 
public lands into private ownership for local needs and the 
consolidation of scattered tracts. The lands proposed for 
exchange out of Federal ownership are largely scattered 
sections of public land intermingled with private land. In 
principle, the BLM supports the land exchanges envisioned by 
section 2(b); however, we would like the opportunity to 
continue to work with the sponsor and the Committee to address 
concerns specifically in the areas of public access and the 
protection of cultural resources.
    It is the Department's understanding that the Confederated 
Tribes of the Warm Springs of Oregon continue to have concerns 
about this legislation. Many of these lands are significant to 
local tribes and we encourage the sponsor and the Committee to 
continue to work toward resolving these issues.
    The bill requires that the exchanges be consistent with 
FLPMA, including the requirement that the Secretary determine 
that the public interest would be served by completing the 
exchange (section 2(b)(2)). We believe that this provides the 
BLM latitude to withdraw specific lands from the exchange if 
any serious impediments are discovered. Furthermore, the 
legislation provides that the Secretary may add such additional 
terms and conditions as appropriate (section 2(b)(3)(E)). We 
believe this would allow the BLM to require that all non-
Federal parties are responsible for addressing any human safety 
concerns or the remediation of hazardous materials on the lands 
to be exchanged out of present ownership. Finally, the BLM 
supports the provisions of the bill requiring that all three 
exchanges be equal value exchanges, and that the appraisals be 
undertaken consistent with Uniform Appraisal Standards.
    The bill (section 2(c)) also proposes to designate two 
potential wilderness areas, the ``Proposed Cathedral Rock 
Wilderness'' and the ``Proposed Horse Heaven Wilderness'' on 
the lands that would be consolidated under the land exchanges 
envisioned by section 2(b) of the bill. When those land 
exchanges are completed, the Cathedral Rock Wilderness would 
include over 8,300 acres of public land and the Horse Heaven 
Wilderness 9,000 acres. The legislation provides a process in 
section 2(c)(2) for converting the ``proposed'' wilderness 
areas into designated wilderness following adequate 
acquisitions of the now private lands. The BLM could manage 
these areas as wilderness following the exchanges. However, 
absent the largest exchange envisioned under section 2 of S. 
353, these areas would be impracticable for the BLM to manage 
as wilderness. That proposed exchange with the local landowner, 
``Young Life,'' involves the core of both the proposed 
Cathedral Rock and Horse Heaven wilderness areas.
    The current land patterns of both the ``Proposed Cathedral 
Rock Wilderness'' and ``Proposed Horse Heaven Wilderness'' are 
highly fragmented. The BLM manages approximately 4,500 acres in 
seven, non-contiguous parcels within the Cathedral Rock area 
and less than 3,000 acres in two separate parcels within Horse 
Heaven. The land exchanges are, of course, optional for the 
three private parties. If, in the end, the largest private land 
owner decides not to pursue the exchange, managing the areas as 
wilderness would not be practical given the fragmented nature 
of the BLM landholdings in these two areas. The BLM supports 
the provisions for interim management of the ``proposed'' areas 
and the methodology for final designation if sufficient land 
exchanges are consummated. Additionally, the BLM supports the 
provisions in section 2(c)(4) of the bill providing for a 
termination of the wilderness designation authority 10 years 
after the date of enactment of the Act. This provides a 
reasonable timeframe during which to either consummate the land 
exchanges and designate the wilderness areas or return to 
current management of the area.
    Finally, section 2(b)(7) would transfer the administrative 
jurisdiction of approximately 750 acres of BLM-managed lands to 
the Forest Service. The BLM supports this transfer of lands 
which will improve manageability.


                         wild rogue wilderness


Background
    The Rogue River's headwaters begin near Crater Lake. It 
then rushes 215 miles through the mountains and valleys of 
southwestern Oregon, eventually emptying into the Pacific Ocean 
near the town of Gold Beach. Over millions of years, the Rogue 
has patiently carved its way through western Oregon's mountains 
creating 3,000 foot canyons, rugged valleys and inspiring 
scenery. Dense, old-growth forests flank the Rogue providing 
habitat for older, forest-dependent species, including the 
Northern Spotted Owl and the Marbled Murrelet. The cold, clear 
waters of the river provide a home for Pacific salmon, 
steelhead trout, and green sturgeon.
    Recreationists are drawn to the entire Rogue River 
watershed to experience nature in a multitude of ways. These 
recreationists are a critical economic engine for local 
economies and include commercial and sport fishing, rafting and 
jet boat tours, and hiking and backpacking. The untamed 
landscape offers countless opportunities for challenge, 
exploration, and discovery.
    The 36,000-acre Wild Rogue Wilderness was designated by an 
Act of Congress (Public Law 95-237) in 1978. Located primarily 
on lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service, the Wild Rogue 
includes approximately 8,600 acres of lands administered by the 
BLM. In 1968, Congress passed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act 
(Public Law 90-542), establishing the Wild and Scenic River 
System and designating eight original rivers. As one of these 
initial eight rivers, Oregon's Rogue River has long been 
recognized for its beauty, exceptional recreational 
opportunities, and extraordinary resource values.
S. 353, Section 3
    The bill (section 3) proposes to enlarge the existing Wild 
Rogue Wilderness by adding nearly 60,000 acres of land 
administered by the BLM. This section also extends the existing 
Rogue Wild and Scenic River by adding 93 miles of 35 
tributaries of the Rogue to the wild and scenic river system. 
In addition, the bill withdraws 50 miles of 20 other Rogue 
River tributaries from operation of the land laws, mining laws, 
and mineral leasing laws and prohibits the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (FERC) from licensing new water resource 
projects and associated facilities along these tributaries.
    The BLM supports the expansion of the Wild Rogue 
Wilderness. This wild and rugged area is largely untrammeled. 
It has largely retained its primeval character and has been 
influenced primarily by the forces of nature with outstanding 
opportunities for primitive recreation or solitude. Protection 
of these wilderness characteristics is largely consistent with 
the current management framework for these lands. We would like 
the opportunity to work with the bill Sponsor and the Committee 
on some modifications to the map and the legislation.
    The BLM recommends that the legislation include language 
directing the Secretary of the Interior to manage the BLM 
portion of the current Wild Rogue Wilderness. When the Wild 
Rogue Wilderness was established in 1978, the legislation 
called for the Secretary of Agriculture to manage all of the 
lands within the wilderness boundary. With this expansion, we 
would like to correct that previous oversight and ensure that 
both the original and the additional BLM-managed lands within 
the Wild Rogue are managed by the BLM. Management of this area 
will continue to be a cooperative exercise with the U. S. 
Forest Service and involve many of the same staff that jointly 
manage the Rogue's successful river program.
    The bill excludes over 500 acres of BLM-managed lands on 
the north side of the river within the external boundaries of 
the wilderness addition from designation as wilderness by 
cherry-stemming a road network where logging and other 
activities have occurred. This could leave these lands open to 
future development and potentially complicate management of the 
surrounding lands as wilderness. While these lands show visible 
effects of past logging activities and existing primitive roads 
that do not meet the naturalness criteria of the Wilderness 
Act, the BLM would like to discuss the possibility of 
designating them as ``potential wilderness'' (as was done, for 
example, to California's Elkhorn Ridge Potential Wilderness 
Area through the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage 
Wilderness Act--Public Law 109-362). The BLM would consider 
management of the area in order to actively restore or, where 
more appropriate, passively restore these lands to move them 
toward wilderness conditions that are consistent with future 
Wilderness designation.
    The BLM would also like to work with the Oregon delegation 
on boundary modifications of the wilderness expansion to 
improve manageability. There are portions of the proposed 
wilderness where minor modifications to follow a road would 
allow for a more recognizable and manageable boundary. In 
addition, a few areas identified for wilderness designation on 
the southeast side of the proposed expansion may raise 
manageability concerns. Specifically, the inclusion of areas 
south of Bailey Creek and east of the Rogue appears to present 
conflicts with existing mining activity and other uses. The BLM 
would like the opportunity to discuss these conflicts further 
with the Committee and the bill's sponsor.
    In 1968, when Congress established the National Wild and 
Scenic Rivers System, it designated the Rogue as one of the 
original eight rivers included in this system. Section 3(c)(1) 
further enhances that initial designation by adding 35 specific 
tributaries of the Rogue to the national system, thus 
conserving the greater Rogue River watershed. In general, the 
proposed stream segments are located in steep, sloped canyons 
with mature and structurally complex forest stands that have 
high conservation values. We support maintaining and enhancing 
those conservation values through designating the 35 
tributaries as Wild and Scenic.
    Finally, Section 3(d) of S. 353 prohibits FERC from 
licensing the construction of any new water or power projects 
along 50 miles of 20 Rogue River tributaries. Additionally, the 
bill would withdraw land for one-quarter mile along either side 
of these tributaries from operation of the land laws, mining 
laws, and mineral leasing laws. This withdrawal will protect 
valid existing rights but would prohibit the sale or exchange 
of any of these federal lands, the location of new mining 
claims, new mineral or geothermal leases, and sales of mineral 
materials. These withdrawals will provide additional 
protections to this important watershed, and the Department 
supports these provisions.


                      molalla wild & scenic river


Background
    The Molalla River begins its journey to the sea on the 
western slopes of the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. At an 
elevation of 4,800 feet, the Molalla flows undammed for 49 
miles west and north until it joins the Willamette River. For 
years, the Molalla suffered from too much negative attention 
from its visitors, including vandalism. To address these 
problems, local residents joined together several years ago and 
formed the Molalla River Alliance (MRA). The MRA, a nonprofit 
all volunteer organization, has over 45 public and private 
partners, including Federal, State, and local government 
agencies; user groups; and conservationists. Working 
cooperatively with BLM's local field office, the MRA has 
provided the Molalla the care it needed. Today, we are pleased 
that this subcommittee is considering designating approximately 
21 miles of the river as a component of the National Wild and 
Scenic Rivers System.
    The Molalla River is home to important natural and cultural 
resources. Protection of this watershed is crucial as the 
source of drinking water for local communities and the 
important spawning habitat it provides for several fish 
species, including salmon and steelhead. Within an hour's drive 
of the metropolitan areas of Portland and Salem, Oregon, the 
Molalla watershed provides significant recreational 
opportunities for fishing, canoeing, mountain biking, horseback 
riding, hiking, hunting, camping, and swimming and draws over 
65,000 visitors annually.
S. 353, Section 4
    The bill (section 4) proposes to designate 15.1 miles of 
the Molalla River and 6.2 miles of the Table Rock Fork of the 
Molalla as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers 
System. The Department supports these designations. In earlier 
planning analyses, the BLM evaluated the Molalla River and the 
Table Rock Fork of the Molalla River and determined that most 
of these two rivers should be considered for designation as 
wild and scenic rivers. As a result, the designation called for 
would be largely consistent with management currently in place 
and would cause few changes to BLM's current administration of 
most of this area. The 5,700-acre Table Rock Wilderness, 
designated by Congress in 1984, is embraced by the Molalla and 
Table Rock Fork, and designation of these river segments would 
reinforce the protections in place for the wilderness area.
    Wild and scenic rivers are designated by Congress in one of 
three categories: wild, scenic, or recreational. Differing 
management proscriptions apply for each of these designations. 
This bill specifies that these river segments be classified as 
recreational. This classification is consistent with the strong 
recreational values of this area as well as the presence of 
roads along the course of the river segments and numerous 
dispersed campsites along its shorelines.
    Finally, section 5 of S. 353 applies to National Forest 
System lands and we defer to the Forest Service on those 
provisions.


                               conclusion


    The conservation designations included in Senator Wyden's 
Oregon Treasures Act, S. 353, are surely that--National 
treasures. The Administration supports this legislation and 
looks forward to the conservation and protection of these very 
special places.

  Statement of James M. Pena, Associate Deputy Chief, National Forest 
           System, Forest Service, Department of Agriculture

    Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Barrasso, and members of the 
Committee, thank you for inviting me here today to testify 
regarding S. 353, the Oregon Treasures Act of 2013.
    S. 353 would affect National Forest System (NFS) lands by 
transferring administrative jurisdiction over a parcel of land 
currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 
to the Forest Service, and by making changes to two existing 
wild and scenic rivers designations.
    Section 2 of the bill provides for land exchanges between 
BLM and private parties. We defer to BLM for its position on 
those exchanges. One of the exchanges, identified in the bill 
as the Young Life Exchange, would involve the conveyance of two 
parcels of NFS land, comprising approximately 690 acres. The 
Department has no objection to either of the parcels being 
exchanged out of federal ownership if BLM determines that the 
land exchange will provide a public benefit.


                transfer of administrative jurisdiction


    Section 2(b)(7) of the bill would transfer administrative 
jurisdiction of certain BLM lands that lie within, or are 
adjacent to, the Ochoco National Forest to the Forest Service. 
The Department supports the transfer of jurisdiction over these 
lands to the Forest Service. This mutually beneficial transfer 
will make management of the federal lands more efficient.


                   wild and scenic river designations


    Section 4(b) officially changes the name of ``Squaw Creek'' 
to ``Whychus Creek'' to better reflect local usage and current 
geographic nomenclature standards. This section also updates 
the location description in the existing designation in section 
3(a)(102) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to incorporate 
several other name changes.
    Section 5 of the bill amends the existing designation in 
Section 3(a)(69) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to change 
the starting and ending points of the three main segments of 
the Chetco River. These changes will extend the wild segment an 
additional 2 miles from Boulder Creek to Mislatnah Creek so 
that the segment extends from the headwaters to Mislatnah Creek 
for a total segment length of 27.5 miles; reduce the scenic 
segment 1/2 mile so that it begins at Mislatnah Creek and ends 
at Eagle Creek for a total segment length of 7.5 miles; and 
reduce the recreational segment 1.5 miles so that it begins at 
Eagle Creek while leaving its end at the Siskiyou National 
Forest border unchanged, for a total segment length of 9.5 
miles. The total length of the Chetco Wild and Scenic River 
would remain 44.5 miles.
    In addition, Section 5 would effectuate a mineral 
withdrawal of the Federal land within the boundary of the 
segments of the Chetco River designated as a wild and scenic 
river. Under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, only Federal lands 
within segments designated as wild are subject to a mineral 
withdrawal.
    The Department is supportive of these technical changes as 
they provide a more appropriate naming convention in the first 
case, and better reflect management classifications and 
direction for the Chetco River in the second case. The Chetco 
River is a jewel of the south coast of Oregon and should be 
protected from impacts that could change its river values and 
current conditions, including tremendous anadromous fish runs.
    This concludes our testimony and I would be happy to answer 
any questions that you may have.
