If the Towns and Villages Accept the Management Plan, Do They Have to Commit to the Recommendations Included in the Plan?

Any water resource protection or conservation initiatives related to the Wild and Scenic Management Plan are implements on an entirely voluntary basis.  If Wild & Scenic Designation occurs, the Management Plan would be implemented by a locally led Advisory Committee established in the same way as the Study Committee (appointed by local selectboards) with the support of the National Park Service.  Annual federal funds are typically available as a result of designation that would be used to support implementation of the management plan.
