Document - Testimony of American Whitewater on SOWSPA
Abstract
On behalf of the whitewater paddling community, American Whitewater writes to express our appreciation for holding a hearing on H.R. 980, Southwestern Oregon Watershed and Salmon Protection Act of 2021. The legislation will protect the exceptional water quality of rivers that flow through this landscape and maintain the recreational paddling experience that is of value to our membership. This legislation would withdraw certain land located in Curry County and Josephine County, Oregon, from all forms of entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public land laws, location, entry, and patent under the mining laws, and operation under the mineral leasing and geothermal leasing laws, and for other purposes.Description
