   Mr. Manchin, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                         [To accompany S. 1254]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 
referred the bill (S. 1254), 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, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon 
with an amendment and recommends that the bill, as amended, do 
pass.

                               Amendment

    On page 20, strike lines 23 and 24 and insert the 
following:

    (b) Restoration.--Consistent with the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.) (including any regulations 
promulgated under that Act), the Secretary of the Interior or 
the Secretary of Agriculture, as applicable, may authorize, 
with respect to a river segment designated by the amendment 
made by subsection (a), an activity or a project, the primary 
purpose of which is--
          (1) river restoration;
          (2) the recovery of a species listed as endangered or 
        threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 
        U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); or
          (3) restoring ecological and hydrological function.

                                Purpose

    The purpose of S. 1254 is to designate and expand several 
wilderness areas in the Olympic National Forest in the State of 
Washington, and to designate certain rivers in the Olympic 
National Forest and Olympic National Park as wild and scenic 
rivers.

                          Background and Need

    The Olympic Peninsula in western Washington covers over 
3,600 square miles stretching from Puget Sound on the east, to 
the Pacific Ocean on the west. The peninsula contains a number 
of state and national parks and forests, including Olympic 
National Park and the Olympic National Forest. The areas 
encompassed by S. 1254 contain mature forests, critical salmon 
habitat, and provide numerous outdoor recreation opportunities.
    S. 1254 would designate approximately 126,554 acres in the 
Olympic National Forest as wilderness and an additional 5,346 
acres as potential wilderness. The bill would also designate 
approximately 464 miles across 19 rivers and major tributaries 
on the Olympic Peninsula as wild and scenic rivers. These 
rivers provide important habitat for many species of native 
freshwater fish, as well as Pacific salmon and steelhead, 
including the federally threatened bull trout.

                          Legislative History

    S. 1254 was introduced by Senator Murray on April 20, 2023. 
The Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining held a 
hearing on S. 1254 on July 12, 2023. Companion legislation, 
H.R. 2765 was introduced in the House of Representatives on 
April 20, 2023, by Representative Kilmer.
    Similar legislation, S. 455, was introduced in the 117th 
Congress by Senator Murray on February 25, 2021. The 
Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining held a 
hearing on the bill on June 16, 2021. The Committee failed to 
report S. 455 on a 10-10 vote in an open business meeting held 
on May 3, 2022. Companion legislation, H.R. 999, was introduced 
in the 117th House of Representatives on February 11, 2021, by 
Representative Kilmer. The House passed the text of H.R. 999 as 
part of H.R. 803, the Protecting America's Wilderness and 
Public Lands Act, which passed the House of Representatives by 
a vote of 227-200 on February 26, 2021, and was also added as 
an amendment to H.R. 7900, the 2023 National Defense 
Authorization Act. No further action occurred on H.R. 803 in 
the Senate and the Wild Olympics language was not included in 
the final 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 
117-263).
    Senator Murray introduced similar legislation in the 116th 
Congress (S. 1382) and in the 115th Congress (S. 483).

                          Committee Amendment

    During its consideration of S. 1254, the Committee adopted 
an amendment deleting section 3(b), clarifying the protection 
of valid existing water rights, since that language is already 
covered by section 4(a), which clarifies that the wild and 
scenic river designations do not affect existing rights. The 
amendment added a new subsection (b) providing that the 
Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior, as 
applicable, may authorize projects and activities related to 
river restoration, species recovery, or restoration of 
ecological and hydrological functions on the designated rivers, 
consistent with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis


Section 1. Short title

    Section 1 provides the short title for the bill, the ``Wild 
Olympics Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.''

Section 2. Designation of Olympic National Forest Wilderness areas

    Subsection (a) designates approximately 126,554 acres of 
land in the Olympic National Forest as components of the 
National Wilderness Preservation System, as depicted on the 
referenced maps. This includes the Lost Creek Wilderness, 
Rugged Ridge Wilderness, Acklee Creek Wilderness, Gates of the 
Elwha Wilderness, Buckhorn Wilderness additions, Green Mountain 
Wilderness, the Brothers Wilderness additions, Mount Skokomish 
Wilderness additions, Wonder Mountain Wilderness additions, 
Moonlight Dome Wilderness, South Quinault Ridge Wilderness, 
Colonel Bob Wilderness additions, Sams River Wilderness, and 
the Canoe Creek Wilderness.
    Subsection (b) requires the Secretary of Agriculture (the 
Secretary) to administer the wilderness areas in accordance 
with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), subject to 
valid existing rights. As soon as practicable after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary is required to file a map 
and legal description of the designations, and each shall have 
the same force and effect as if included in this Act, except 
that the Secretary may correct minor errors. Each map and legal 
description shall be made available for public inspection in 
the appropriate Forest Service office.
    Subsection (c) designates approximately 5,346 acres of 
National Forest land as potential wilderness, as depicted on 
the referenced maps. The potential wilderness shall be 
designated as wilderness or incorporated into the adjacent 
wilderness area on the date in which the Secretary publishes a 
notice in the Federal Register that any nonconforming uses have 
been terminated in the potential wilderness area.
    Subsection (d) clarifies that nothing in this section 
creates a protective perimeter or buffer zone around any 
wilderness area and permits any nonconforming activity or use 
outside of the boundary, even if it can be seen or heard from 
within the boundary of the wilderness area.
    Subsection (e) authorizes the Secretary to take measures 
necessary to control fire, insects, and diseases in the 
wilderness areas, in accordance with the Wilderness Act, and 
subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary 
determines appropriate.

Section 3. Wild and Scenic River Designations.

    Subsection (a) amends section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1274(a)) to add approximately 464.5 miles 
of rivers and creeks on Federal lands in the State of 
Washington, managed by the Forest Service and the National Park 
Service, as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers 
System.
    Subsection (b) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior or 
the Secretary of Agriculture, as applicable, to authorize an 
activity or a project on the designated rivers for the purposes 
of river restoration, the recovery of a species listed as 
endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 
1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), or restoring ecological and 
hydrological function, consistent with the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).
    Subsection (c) requires the Secretary of Agriculture, no 
later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, to 
incorporate the designations made by this section into updated 
applicable National Forest management plans. The Secretary may 
update the management plan 5 years after the date of enactment 
of this Act if the Secretary is unable to meet the 3 year 
requirement and if, not later than 3 years after the date of 
enactment, the Department of Agriculture's annual budget 
submission to Congress contains a request for additional sums 
as may be necessary to meet such requirements. The updated 
management plans in this subsection satisfy the requirements 
under section 3(d) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 
1274(d)).

Section 4. Existing rights and withdrawal

    Subsection (a) clarifies that nothing in this Act or 
amendments to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act made by this Act 
affects or abrogates existing rights, privileges, or contracts 
held by private parties, nor does it modify or direct the 
management, acquisition, or disposition of land managed by the 
State of Washington.
    Subsection (b) withdraws the land within the boundaries of 
the wild and scenic river designations made by this Act, 
subject to valid existing rights, from all forms of entry, 
appropriation, or disposal under the public land laws; 
location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and 
disposition under mineral and geothermal leasing or mineral 
material laws.

Section 5. Treaty rights

    Section 5 clarifies that nothing in this Act alters, 
diminishes, or extinguishes the reserved treaty rights of any 
Indian Tribe with hunting, fishing, gathering, and cultural or 
religious rights protected by a treaty.

                   Cost and Budgetary Considerations

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

    [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


    S. 1254 would designate 15 areas, totaling roughly 130,000 
acres of federal land, in the Olympic National Forest in 
Washington as wilderness and would add 470 miles of river 
segments to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The 
bill would generally withdraw those areas from availability for 
commercial timber production.
    Using information from the Forest Service, CBO estimates 
that the agency would incur upfront costs averaging $400,000 
for each of the 15 designations. That amount includes costs to 
assess the areas for wilderness characteristics, develop and 
update management plans, and conduct boundary surveys. In 
addition, using information from the Forest Service and the 
National Park Service (NPS), CBO estimates that the agencies 
would incur upfront costs of $7 million to implement the wild 
and scenic river designations; most of that amount would be for 
boundary surveys. Finally, we estimate that the Forest Service 
and the NPS would spend $600,000 annually for additional staff 
and rangers under the bill. In total, CBO estimates that 
implementing S. 1254 would cost $16 million over the 2024-2029 
period; any related spending would be subject to the 
availability of appropriated funds.
    Income from timber production, the sale of forest products, 
and special use permits is classified in the budget as 
offsetting receipts (that is, as reductions in direct 
spending). Under S.1254, the federal government could forgo 
receipts because land would be unavailable for those purposes. 
CBO estimates that any increases in direct spending from the 
loss of receipts would be insignificant over the 2024-2034 
period.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Alaina Rhee. The 
estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director 
of Budget Analysis.
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                             Director, Congressional Budget Office.

                      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. 1254. 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. 1254, as ordered reported.

                   Congressionally Directed Spending

    S. 1254, as ordered 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 Forest Service and the 
Statement for the Record provided by the National Park Service 
from the Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining, 
July 12, 2023, hearing on S. 1254, follows:

      Testimony of Chris French, Deputy Chief, U.S. Department of 
                      Agriculture, Forest Service


  s. 1254, ``wild olympics wilderness and wild and scenic rivers act''


    USDA supports S. 1254, ``Wild Olympics Wilderness and Wild 
and Scenic Rivers Act,'' and would like to work with the 
committee and the sponsor of this bill to address some 
technical and timing concerns.
    S. 1254 would designate new and expand existing Wilderness 
areas, potential Wilderness areas, and certain rivers in the 
Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park as wild and 
scenic rivers. My testimony pertains only to the designations 
proposed on the Olympic National Forest. We defer to the DOI on 
portions of the bill pertaining to the Olympic National Park. 
USDA recognizes the importance of Wilderness areas and wild and 
scenic rivers, and the USDA Forest Service embraces its mission 
to steward and safeguard Wilderness character in Wilderness 
areas, and the free-flowing condition, water quality, and 
outstandingly remarkable values of wild and scenic rivers.
    We would like to work with the committee and bill sponsor 
to consider Wilderness boundary modifications. Our experience 
is that Wilderness boundaries that follow topographic features 
like contour lines, creeks, and ridgetops are more manageable 
than boundaries based on age-class differences in timber 
stands, which can be difficult to describe and survey.
    Of the 19 rivers proposed for wild and scenic river 
designation in the bill, 13 include segments flowing through 
the NFS. Portions of two of those rivers, the Duckabush River 
and the Dungeness River, were found eligible and suitable for 
designation under the 1990 Olympic National Forest Land 
Management Plan. As part of that public planning process, the 
Olympic National Forest found that two segments totaling 9.4 
miles of the Duckabush River have outstandingly remarkable 
values for fish, geology, and scenery. For the Dungeness River, 
the Olympic National Forest determined that six segments 
totaling 22.7 miles of the mainstem and its tributary the Gray 
Wolf River have outstandingly remarkable values that include 
fish, scenery, and geology. We would like to work with the 
committee and bill sponsor to identify potential locations for 
future restoration or habitat improvement work to ensure the 
wild and scenic river designations appropriately support the 
specific fisheries and water quality management needs of these 
watersheds.
    Additionally, USDA wants to ensure any new designations are 
properly integrated into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers 
System with enough time to develop comprehensive river 
management plans and to establish detailed boundaries in 
cooperation with Tribes, state and local governments, and 
interested public stakeholders. The short timeframes identified 
under Sections 3(b) and 3(d) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act 
for identifying detailed boundaries and completing 
comprehensive river management plans will be challenging to 
meet. We appreciate language included in Section 3(c) of this 
bill to provide an additional degree of flexibility on 
timeframes associated with completing comprehensive river 
management plans for these designations. However, we would like 
to work with the committee and bill sponsor to clarify the 
intended effect of this provision in relation to the timelines 
and scale of future land management plan revisions for the 
Olympic National Forest.

Statement for the Record, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the 
                                Interior

    Thank you for the opportunity to present the views of the 
Department of the Interior on S. 1254, the Wild Olympics 
Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
    The Department supports S. 1254 with amendments. As it 
pertains to the National Park Service (NPS), the bill amends 
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate segments of various 
rivers within Olympic National Park as wild, scenic, or 
recreational rivers. We defer to the Department of Agriculture 
on all other portions of the bill.
    Olympic National Park contains 3,500 miles of river that 
are home to 29 species of native freshwater fish and support 70 
unique stocks of Pacific salmon and steelhead, including bull 
trout, which is Federally listed as threatened. The rivers 
trace their paths through magnificent stands of old growth 
forest against the backdrop of the glacier-clad Olympic 
Mountains. They are accessible by miles of hiking trails and 
provide recreational enjoyment for legions of visitors each 
year.
    The following rivers addressed in the bill fall fully or 
partially within the park: Elwha, Dungeness, Dosewallips, 
Duckabush, Wynoochee, Quinault, Queets, Hoh, Bogachiel, South 
Fork Calawah, Sol Duc, and Lyre Rivers. S. 1254 is consistent 
with the park's 2008 General Management Plan, which states that 
the rivers noted above are eligible for designation as part of 
the national wild and scenic rivers system and will be managed 
to prevent any degradation to the resources and values that 
merit eligibility. The river segments in areas managed by the 
NPS that are proposed for designation in S. 1254 were 
previously found eligible for designation through NPS 
eligibility studies.
    The Department would like to highlight the challenge of 
meeting the requirement in Section 3(d) of the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act, which mandates Comprehensive River Management Plans 
three years after designation. The NPS recommends providing an 
exception to the timing requirement in Section 3(d) of the Wild 
and Scenic Rivers Act, otherwise, the NPS would be required to 
develop plans for more than a dozen rivers simultaneously, 
which could not be done with available resources. Therefore, we 
recommend amending S. 1254 to provide for plans and boundaries 
to be developed for these rivers three years after funding is 
available.
    Additionally, we recommend that Sec. 3 of S. 1254 be 
amended to designate an additional segment of the Elwha River, 
from Cat Creek to the Olympic National Park boundary, as a 
``recreational river'' under 16 U.S.C. 1274 to enhance outdoor 
recreation. Sec. 3 designates the Elwha River and its 
tributaries from the source to Cat Creek as a wild river. The 
removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams in 2011 and 2014 
respectively, and the significant restoration work that has 
been completed on the river segment downstream from Cat Creek 
to the park boundary has resulted in a free-flowing river that 
has significant recreational use. The park's 2004 Elwha Wild 
and Scenic River Eligibility Report determined that if Elwha 
and Glines Canyon dams were removed, this segment would be 
eligible for classification as ``recreational.''
    We would be happy to work with the Committee and the 
sponsor to develop these amendments.
    Thank you for the opportunity to provide this statement for 
the record.
