Sec. 460ww-2. Miscellaneous
(a) Lands and waters
The Secretary may acquire lands or interests in lands within the
boundaries of the recreation area by donation, purchase with donated or
appropriated funds, or exchange. When any tract of land is only partly
within such boundaries, the Secretary may acquire all or any portion of
the land outside of such boundaries in order to minimize the payment of
severance costs.
(b) Jurisdiction
Lands, waters and interests therein within the recreation area which
are administered by any other agency of the United States and which are
not identified under section 460ww-1 of this title as directly related
to the Summersville project and essential to the operation of that
project shall be transferred without reimbursement to the administrative
jurisdiction of the Secretary.
(c) Protection of existing project
Nothing in this Act shall impair or affect the requirements of
section 1102 of Public Law 99-662 or otherwise affect the authorities of
any department or agency of the United States to carry out the project
purposes of the Summersville project, including recreation. In releasing
water from such project, in order to protect public health and safety
and to provide for enjoyment of the resources within the recreation
area, other departments and agencies of the United States shall
cooperate with the Secretary to facilitate and enhance whitewater
recreational use and other recreational use of the recreation area.
