15-2705. Jurisdiction  of  the  commissioner  and  the Adirondack park
           agency.
Notwithstanding provisions of any other general or  special  law,  the
  functions, powers and duties encompassed by this section shall be vested
  in  the Adirondack park agency as to any privately owned part of a river
  area within the Adirondack park as defined by law which may become  part
  of   the   system;   however,  the  commissioner  shall  have  exclusive
  jurisdiction over all other river areas in the state and of all parts of
  river areas owned by the state located within the Adirondack park  which
  may  become  part  of the system. This section shall not be construed to
  divest the commissioner from  the  exercise  of  functions,  powers  and
  duties  which  have  not  been  delegated  by  law to the agency. If the
  commissioner or the agency shall conduct  any  studies,  proceedings  or
  activities  under  this  section or otherwise which affect or may affect
  river areas, any part of which are  within  the  Adirondack  park,  they
  shall consult and cooperate to carry out the purposes of this title.
