The Metolius Basin
SB 30
Topic |
Legislative Session |
The Metolius River seems to magically appear from an underground spring to create a pristine river flowing from the eastside of the Cascade Mountains. The river is truly worthy of its federal designation as a “Wild and Scenic River.” A bill this session would have protected the Metolius from damaging development by prohibiting destination resorts too close to the river. Unfortunately it did not pass the House, but there continues to be an effort to protect this and other special places around Oregon.
This bill died in the House.
