The Department of Highways is authorized to construct fills, made necessary
by road construction, so that such will impound water.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and the Department of
Highways shall decide whether the creation of a lake in any one (1) particular
spot is deemed reasonable and beneficial. The Department of Fish and Wildlife
Resources shall do everything necessary to insure good fishing and may
regulate boating and other recreational interest so that there may be the least
amount of interference.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources may, if the site is suitable,
assist the local party or parties in obtaining deeds or easements where
necessary. Interested local parties may obtain title to excess land required and
deed it to the Commonwealth for creation of a public fishing lake. A parking lot
at or near the fill may be created on land deeded free of charge to the
Commonwealth.
Surrounding landowners may by permission irrigate from said lake providing
that there is no adverse affect on the lake itself.
Parking shall be regulated to prevent obstruction of the highway.
