  • Tonto National Forest Draft Wild & Scenic Rivers Eligibility Study
    United States Department of Agriculture Tonto National Forest Draft Wild and Scenic Rivers Eligibility Study Tonto National Forest Gila, Maricopa, Pinal, and Yavapai Counties Arizona Forest Service Tonto National Forest October 2017 Introduction The National Wild & Scenic Rivers (WSR) System was created by Congress in 1968 to preserve rivers that contain outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values in a free-flowing system, and are for the enjoyment of present and future generations. Over the past thirty years several wild and scenic rivers eligibility studies were conducted on rivers and river segments on the Tonto National Forest. Those studies include the 1984 Arizona Wilderness Act, a Resource Information Report for Potential Wild, Scenic, Recreational River Designations, National Forest of Arizona (1993), and the Fossil Creek Resource Assessment (2009). As a result of this earlier work the Tonto National Forest identified 26 river segments as eligible for wild and scenic rivers designation. Determinations for eligibility were made using the process outlined in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System Act of 1968. The results of these studies were adopted as amendments to the 1985 Tonto National Forest plan. As part of the Tonto National Forest Plan Revision process, under the direction of the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR Part 219), a new wild and scenic rivers eligibility study was conducted for the Tonto National Forest (TNF) planning area. When beginning this process, the interdisciplinary (ID) team reviewed the earlier work from the 1993 effort and determined that an additional, more comprehensive study was required to fulfill the mandates set forth in the 2012 Planning Rule.
