§3087.308. Rules and regulations

A. In order to accomplish the purposes of the commission, the board of commissioners may make and enforce such rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary and advisable:

(1) To manage and control the water level; however, except as otherwise provided by this Part, the management and control of drawdowns for biological purposes is vested in the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.

(2) To protect and preserve the works, improvements, and properties owned or controlled by the commission, prescribe the manner of their use by public corporations and persons, and preserve order within and adjacent thereto.

(3) To prescribe the manner of building bridges, roads, fences, including fences for the control of livestock, or other works in, along, or across any channel or extension into the reservoir.

(4) To prescribe the manner in which natural or artificial drains, ditches, sewers, pipelines, or other works shall be adjusted to or connected with the works of the commission or any watercourse therein and the manner in which the watercourses of property in the area of the boundaries of the commission may be used for sewer outlets for disposal of waste.

(5) To prescribe the permissible uses of the water supply provided by the impoundments constructed and to prevent the pollution or unnecessary waste of such water supply.

(6) To prescribe or regulate the discharge into sewers of the district of any liquid or solid waste deemed detrimental to the works and improvements of the district.

(7) To describe, execute, and implement building restrictions on non-submerged lands not owned by the commission but located therein and immediately adjacent to the improvements of the commission in order to maintain the integrity and enhance the value of property in the district and the surrounding area. Building restrictions for private landowners within the district will not be more strict than guidelines used by the commission.

B. The board of commissioners shall make recommendations to the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission for proposed regulations pertaining to hunting and fishing, water sports, boating recreation, and all other activities engaged in upon the lake.
