Class II Pastoral River Areas classification. 
 
 
FISCAL IMPACT: 
 
NOT SIGNIFICANT     
  
 Assumption: 
 
• The proposed legislation expands the scenic river designations, but does not impose new 
regulatory, management, or enforcement requirements on the Department of 
Environment and Conservation. Therefore, the expansion does not require additional 
funding, staffing, or resources from the department.
