indicated equalization payment, the exchange shall not

RIVER.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--

2005 (Public Law 109-370) authorized the study of the Farmington
River downstream from the segment designated as a recreational
river by section 3(a)(156) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16
U.S.C. 1277(a)(156)) to its confluence with the Connecticut

stem and east and west branches for potential inclusion in the
National Wild and Scenic Rivers System;

Committee prepared the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook
Management Plan, June 2011 (referred to in this section as the
``management plan''), that establishes objectives, standards,
and action programs that will ensure the long-term protection of
the outstanding values of the river segments without Federal
management of affected lands not owned by the United States;

Scenic Study Committee has voted in favor of Wild and Scenic
River designation for the river segments, and has included this

the designation of the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook
as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System
(Public Act 08-37); and

[[Page 685]]
based on the findings of the study of the Lower Farmington River
pursuant to Public Law 109-370, this hydroelectric project
(including all aspects of its facilities, operations, and
transmission lines) is compatible with the designation made by
