Dolores River National Conservation Area and Special Management Area Act

This bill establishes the Dolores River National Conservation Area (approximately 52,872 acres of Bureau of Land Management land) and Dolores River Special Management Area (approximately 15,452 acres of National Forest land) in Colorado to protect natural, recreational, and cultural resources including native fish, whitewater boating, and scenic areas. Management plans must be developed within 3 years for both areas, requiring consultation with local governments, water users, conservation groups, and tribal representatives. The bill protects existing water rights and tribal treaty rights, prohibits new road construction in sensitive areas, and limits motorized vehicle use to designated routes within the conservation areas. It also makes technical modifications to release portions of the Dolores River from potential Wild and Scenic River designation.
