- The Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Protection Act (H.R. 723) is a bill that was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. H.R. 723 would require the National Park Service (NPS) to study segments of the Beaver, Chipuxet, Queen, Wood, and Pawcatuck Rivers in Rhode Island and Connecticut for potential additions to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. If these rivers are added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, they might receive special protections and even federal funding. The bill was introduced by Rep. James Langevin (D-RI) on February 14, 2013. When speaking in favor of the bill on the House floor, Rep. Langevin said that the rivers under consideration "outstanding recreational, natural, and historical qualities that make them worthy of designation of Wild and Scenic Rivers." This is not the first time that this act has been proposed. Rep. James Langevin also introduced a similar bill (H.R. 3388) in the 112th United States Congress. The Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Association, a non-profit advocacy group, worked with several other groups, including The Nature Conservancy, Save the Bay, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, in order to promote this bill in each Congress it has been introduced.
