PART 331--REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE PROTECTION, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE FALLS OF THE OHIO NATIONAL WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AREA, KENTUCKY AND INDIANA--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 331.1  Applicability and scope.

    (a) The regulations contained in this part apply to those lands and 
waters within the established boundary of the Falls of the Ohio National 
Wildlife Conservation Area (WCA). Included in this boundary, which was 
published in the Federal Register of August 12, 1982, are publicly and 
privately owned lands, waters and improvements. The Federal Government, 
acting through the Corps of Engineers, will acquire such rights to 
privately-owned properties in the WCA as are necessary to carry out the 
purposes of title II, Pub. L. 97-137. The regulations prescribed herein 
are for the use, management and protection of the resources of the WCA 
and all persons entering, using or visiting within the boundaries of the 
WCA are subject to these regulations. All other applicable Federal, 
State and local laws and regulations remain in full force and effect. 
The District Engineer, US Army Corps of Engineers, exercises non-
exclusive jurisdiction over the lands and waters of the WCA and enforces 
these regulations.
    (b) The WCA boundary encompasses an existing hydroelectric 
generating station and the McAlpine Locks and Dam, operating navigation 
structures which are part of the authorized Ohio River Navigation 
System. The continued operation and maintenance of this

system take precedence over the purposes of the WCA, except that such 
operation and maintenance will be consistent with the basic purpose of 
the WCA as regards prohibition of hunting, vandalism, and dumping of 
refuse. Management of the WCA to achieve its intended purposes will, to 
the extent practicable, be accomplished in a manner consistent and 
compatible with continued generation of electricity and navigation on 
the Ohio River, including operation and maintenance of the McAlpine 
Locks and Dam and the Louisville Repair Station and material storage 
areas located on Shippingport Island.
