Nulhegan River and Paul Stream Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2023

H.R. 1063 proposes a formal study of specific sections of the Nulhegan River and Paul Stream in northeastern Vermont to determine if they qualify for designation under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This study would evaluate the area's natural, cultural, and recreational values to see if they meet federal standards for protection. If the study eventually leads to a "Wild and Scenic" designation, it would help preserve the free-flowing condition of these waters and protect the surrounding environment from future development, such as new dams or federally funded water projects.
