§ 82-896.11. Scenic rivers - Statement of purpose

The Legislature finds that the protection and development of the

scenic rivers in the state and adjacent and contiguous lands and

quality of outstanding resource waters included within each scenic

river should be provided for by properly planned and executed rules

promulgated by the Grand River Dam Authority. The rules promulgated

by the Authority with respect to scenic rivers may address public

services, land use, occupancy, structures, lot and plot sizes,

density of population and other activities as required for the

proper protection of the aesthetic, scenic, historic, archeologic

and scientific features of the scenic rivers, or deemed necessary

for the protection of the ecosystem and the environment from

pollution, despoliation and destruction or waste of natural

resources and all other factors adversely affecting the public

health, safety and the general welfare so long as the rules comply

with the exempt provisions of the Scenic Rivers Act pertaining to

farming, ranching, forestry, silviculture and other agricultural

uses.
