February 9 22 20 persons to in report on river The department of En vironmental Conservation tewitl advisory committee on a report which may lead to recommendations that a section of the Battenkill be included in the state’s system of wild, scenic and recreational rivers. If established as such, the Battenkill \$ouId re main free-flowing and be protected from inappro priate development by law. The section in question is an 11.2 mile long stretch of the river, from the Vermont line to Rexleigb, just southeast of Saltoi, • ; ^ : ,/v The river has been inventoried by the de partment and has been adjudged recreational and scenic in the area speci fied. The department ex pects to hold extensive public discussions and hearings before recom mending to the legislature and local government officials that the Battenkill be put on the state’s list. According to Ogden Reid, Environmental Conservation commis sioner, \Citizen advisory committees representing a cross section of interests are being established to help’ evaluate and fin alize” a study on the river. He says the com mittee Will be “an essen tial element of the public information and outreach prograin which is being scheduled by the depart ment tp explain river proposals and obtain pub lic views. ’' William Roden of the department says the committee will be chosen by the end of the week. Under a natural rivers ruling by the state in 1972, recreational rivers are to .be easily accessible by • road or railroad, may have , development in the area, and may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in thg past. Scenic rivers are to be free of diversions and impoundments except for log dams, with limited road access and with the area largely primitive, undeveloped, and used for agriculture, forest man agement, or other dis persed human activities. For the most parti rivers already in the state- protected system are in the Adirondack park. Two river sections in Suffolk, county are also on the list. Along with the Batten kill, nine other rivers are being studied prior to recommendations to this year’s legislature regard ing inclusion in the system. They are located in Suffolk, Delaware, Sullivan, Orange, Broome, Otsego, Alle gany, Livingston, Wyom ing and Ulster counties, and range from 75.4 to .75 miles in length.
