Designates certain segments of the Gila River system in New Mexico as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
The M.H. Dutch Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate specific segments of the Gila River system in New Mexico as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. These segments are classified as recreational, scenic, or wild rivers. The act also transfers administrative jurisdiction over certain federal land from the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary of the Interior.
