     § 3506.  Drawing off or interference with dams or devices.
        (a)  Drawing off or obstructing dams.--No person shall draw
     off dam waters inhabited by fish without first applying for
     written permission from the commission, nor shall any person
     obstruct the flow of water through any such dam without allowing
     a minimum flow of water determined by the commission to be
     sufficient at all times to flow in the natural stream on which
     the dam is located to enable the fish to live. Any person
     violating the provisions of this subsection commits a summary
     offense of the first degree.
        (b)  Interference with dams or devices.--Dams, deflectors,
     retards or similar devices placed across or in any waters
     inhabited by fish, with permission of the owner or owners of the
     land adjacent thereto or through which those waters flow, shall
     not be destroyed, removed, breached or disturbed, except by
     written permission first obtained from the commission. Any
     person violating the provisions of this subsection commits a
     summary offense of the first degree.
