Subject to the limitation set forth in section 1505.08 of the Revised Code , the director of natural resources, with the approval of the director of environmental
protection, the attorney general, and the governor, may issue permits and make leases
to parties making application for permission to take and remove sand, gravel, stone,
and other minerals or substances from and under the bed of Lake Erie, either upon
a royalty or rental basis, as he determines to be best for the state. Permits shall be issued for terms of not less than one year nor more than ten years,
and leases shall be for a term of years or until the economic extraction of the mineral
or other substance covered thereby has been completed. Such taking and removal shall be within certain fixed boundaries that do not conflict
with the rights of littoral owners. Upon request from the holder of a permit, it shall be canceled, but in the case
of any permit or lease, any equipment or buildings owned by the permittee or lessee
shall be held as security by the director of natural resources for payment of all
rentals or royalties due the state at the time of cancellation. No person shall remove sand, gravel, stone, or other minerals or substances from and
under the bed of Lake Erie without first obtaining a permit or lease therefor from
the director. The director of natural resources may, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised
Code, adopt, amend, and rescind rules for the administration, implementation, and
enforcement of this section.
