      (c)      This section does not change, modify, or enlarge in any manner, any term of the lease from the Eastern Land Corporation and the Pennsylvania Electric Company to the State for the Department to use the Deep Creek Lake area, nor affect, in any manner, the rights, privileges, and reservations of the lessors in the area.
