Upper Raritan River Watershed Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2025

This bill would add the Upper Raritan River watershed in New Jersey to the list of rivers to be studied for possible inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The study area covers the North Branch Raritan River, the South Branch Raritan River, the Lamington-Black River, and their tributaries, including those upstream of the Spruce Run Reservoir. The Secretary of the Interior would have to finish the study within 3 years after funds are made available. The Secretary would then send a report on the results to specific committees of the House and Senate.
