Document Description: The purpose of the Tuolumne River Plan is to preserve the Tuolumne River in free-flowing condition, and to protect the water quality and outstandingly remarkable values that make the river worthy of designation, for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. In accordance with WSRA "the plan shall address resource protection, development of lands and facilities, user capacities, and other management practices necessary or desirable to achieve the purposes of this Act" (WSRA section 3(d)). This plan will fulfill the specific direction of the 1984 legislation designating the Tuolumne River as a component of the national wild and scenic river system and make appropriate revisions to the park's 1980 General Management Plan. Consistent with the guidance provided by WSRA, the guidelines for its implementation, published jointly by the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior, and the technical papers prepared by the Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordinating Council, the Tuolumne River Plan specifically addresses the elements.
