Requires the Secretary of the Interior to administer such segments: (1) in association with the political jurisdictions through which the Maurice River and its tributaries pass; and (2) in accordance with the local river management plan prepared by the Cumberland County Department of Planning and Development and plans and ordinances prepared and adopted by the respective municipal governments. Requires the Secretary to review such plan to ensure that proper implementation of it will protect the values for which the segments were designated. Authorizes the Secretary, if requested, to: (1) provide planning assistance to New Jersey and its political subdivisions; and (2) enter into a memorandum of understanding or cooperative agreements with other Federal agencies and with New Jersey to ensure that State and Federal programs are carried out in a manner that is consistent with the river management plans. Directs the Secretary to review compliance with the locally adopted river management plans biennially and to report to appropriate congressional committees on any deviation from those plans which causes or may result in any diminution of the values for which the river was designated. Encourages the Secretary to: (1) continue to work with local municipalities to negotiate agreement and support for designating additional eligible segments of the Maurice River and its tributaries; and (2) report to the Congress on the status of discussions, negotiations, and such recommendations toward inclusion of additional river segments into the System.
