PL 110-229 Sec. 344 directs the NPS to administer the Eightmile Wild and Scenic River designation in collaboration with the Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Coordinating Committee (Management

Committee), consistent with the Partnership Wild and Scenic River model. Since the designation in

2008, the Lyme Land Conservation Trust has facilitated the cooperative management through cooperative agreements with the NPS. The cooperative agreement provides funds to implement annual work plans of the Management Committee developed pursuant to the approved Eightmile River

Watershed Management Plan. The Lyme Land Conservation Trust has been determined by NPS and the

Management Committee to be uniquely qualified to serve in this capacity based on their long standing track record as a community-based organization with a long track record of success related to the conservation, restoration and public enjoyment of the river and watershed.
