Thus, the foundation for wild and scenic river management is a clearly defined set of ORVs. The Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordinating Council has issued criteria for identifying and defining these values. The criteria guidance states that: • An ORV must be river related or dependent. This means that a value must ° be in the river or on its immediate shorelands (generally within 0 .25 mile on either side of the river), ° contribute substantially to the functioning of the river ecosystem, and ° owe its location or existence to the presence of the river . • An ORV must be rare, unique, or exemplary at a comparative regional or national scale. Such a value would be one that is a conspicuous example from among a number of similar values Photo: Scott Rando that are themselves uncommon or extraordinary. Based on these criteria and a careful analysis of the designated reaches of the Delaware River and its tributaries, the National Park Service has determined that several ORVs are present.

Cultural landscapes range from large agricultural tracts to small designed gardens. The Cultural Landscape Inventory (CLI) is a new program in the National Park Service designed to identify and document landscapes in the National Parks. It is being instituted in six of the ten regions, and was begun in the Mid- Atlantic Region in FY 92. Inventory Levels: Because this is the first inventory of cultural landscapes in the National Park Service, the project will proceed in three levels. Level 1 identifies and describes the cultural landscape of each park, and provides basic administrative and historical information. Building on the information collected in Level 1, Level 2 provides a thorough site analysis and documentation of the character defining features of the cultural landscape.
