Mullica River Watershed Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2026

This bill would add the Mullica River watershed in New Jersey to the list of rivers to be studied for possible designation as a wild and scenic river under federal law. The study would cover the Mullica, Wading, and Batsto Rivers and their tributaries, including 23 named segments. The Secretary of the Interior would have to finish the study within 3 years after funds are made available. The Secretary would then report the results to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
