Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Congress designated certain segments of the XxXxxxxx River in the vicinity of the Project as a recreational wild and scenic river under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (“WSRA”). The Project predates this designation. The Project, as authorized under the New License, must comply with the WSRA. If FERC adopts the provisions of this Agreement as the federal action for which consultation is performed under the ESA, the USDA Forest Service will reanalyze, if appropriate, its “USDA Forest Service Revised Final Wild and Scenic Rivers Section 7(a) Determination and Report for the Xxxxxx Xxxxx Hydroelectric Project (p-2242)” dated March 4, 2013 under Section 7(a) of the WSRA regarding whether the Project, as it will be authorized under the New License, will “invade the area or unreasonably diminish the scenic, recreational, and fish and wildlife values” present in the segments of the river at the date of their designation. The USDA Forest Service anticipates that this Agreement and the Final Terms and Conditions under Section 4(e) of the FPA, developed consistently with this Agreement, will allow a determination to be made that the Project, as it will be authorized under the New License, does not invade the area or unreasonably diminish the scenic, recreational, and fish and wildlife values in any designated segment. By signing this Agreement, the USDA Forest Service does not formally bind itself to make any specific determination. The USDA Forest Service expressly reserves the right, consistent with federal law, to take such future actions as it may deem necessary to meet its obligations under the WSRA. The USDA Forest Service will provide draft and final revised Section 7(a) determinations, to the extent required, in accordance with FERC’s licensing process. If the USDA Forest Service revised determination under Section 7(a), to the extent required, is Inconsistent with this Agreement, including a finding that the Project, as it will be authorized under the New License, will invade the area or unreasonably diminish the scenic, recreational, and fish and wildlife values in any designated segment, the Parties will address any such Inconsistency in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement.
