The public hearing is in relation to consider adoption, amendment and repeal of Rules pertaining to:
1. ARSD 41:04:06:06 (New Rule) Navigation Lanes
Effect: The proposed change would create a new rule to establish a procedure for the public to request a navigation lane through a closed nonmeandered body of water when no other alternative legal access is available.
Reason: In 2017, the legislature passed the Nonmeandered Waters Compromise which is codified in SDCL 41-23. As part of that legislation, the Commission is required to establish a process for which the public can petition the Commission to establish a navigation lane through closed nonmeandered bodies of water when closure eliminates access to an open nonmeandered lake.
