Sec.  209.230  Use of reservoir areas for recreation.



    The Department of the Army in accordance with Section 4 of the Flood 

Control Act of December 22, 1944, as amended by section 4 of the Flood 

Control Act of July 24, 1946 (60 Stat. 641) prepares and administers 

plans to obtain the maximum sustained public benefit from the use of 

reservoir areas under its control for recreation and other related 

purposes, when such use is consistent with the operation and maintenance 

of the reservoir project for the specific purposes of the reservoir 

project as authorized by law and when such use is determined not to be 

contrary to the public interest. The plans are prepared and administered 

by the District Engineers, subject to review and approval of the 

Division Engineers and the Chief of Engineers, in close cooperation with 

other Federal agencies and local interests. The views and desires of 

these agencies and local interests are obtained normally by conferences 

with the District Engineers. In many cases, public hearings are held by 

the District Engineers at appropriate times in the vicinity of the 

reservoir area at which time anyone can express his views relative to 

these plans for consideration of the Department of the Army. Rules and 

regulations are prescribed by the Secretary of the Army to govern the 

public use of the reservoir areas in accordance with the law as a part 

of the master plan for recreational and related uses of the reservoir 

area. These rules and regulations are published in 36 CFR parts 311 to 

326. Licenses and leases are granted under the law containing conditions 

and provisions to govern the use of specific portions of the reservoir 

area. Full information concerning such matters may be obtained from the 

District Engineer in charge of the reservoir.
