Is there a Committee established after designation?

If designation occurs a permanent committee will be established to manage the federal funds that typically result from designation.  I believe it will be formed similarly to the current committee where towns along the designated reach appoint members to the committee.  Either the National Park Service hires or designates a staff person to assist the committee and manage the river, or staff could also be hired through a partner organization such as the MRBA (as has occurred with staff for the Study – Shana). An example of how this occurred for the Lamprey River in New Hampshire can be found at: http://www.rivers.gov/publications/act/104-333.pdf (see Sec. 405).
