Ed states: There was talk of possibly including feeder streams in the designation. With this in mind, is there a "zone" or a specific distance from the center of the river the W&S designation would effect?

NPS Staff response: We are looking broadly right now at resources that are in some way related to the river. The time to narrow things down will be after we collect information about the rivers' resources at the end of the study - all tributaries to the Missisquoi and Trout Rivers are currently considered during the study. If our ORV work indicates that there are tributaries that have exceptional value and importance, the Study Committee could consider recommending that they be included in designation (subject to local support). In terms of deliniating a specific “zone” of influence along the river, we will have to wait and see what our management recommendations are, although we already know for sure that there is no “zone” of new federal land use restriction.
