Didn't see any specific rivers but adds 4700 miles of rivers and expands the limitations on industrial uses from 1/4 miles to 1/2 mile.

Good news for protection of trails that are in river corridors proposed for Wild & Scenic River status. It includes rivers across the state. Also good news for wildlife, clean drinking water, and the role these river corridors can play in a changing climate (shade, carbon storage in trees, wildlife migration corridors, etc).
