§82-1452.
   
   A. The Oklahoma Legislature finds that some of the free-flowing
   streams and rivers of Oklahoma possess such unique natural scenic
   beauty, water conservation, fish, wildlife and outdoor recreational
   values of present and future benefit to the people of the state that
   it is the policy of the Legislature to preserve these areas for the
   benefit of the people of Oklahoma. For this purpose there are hereby
   designated certain "scenic river areas" to be preserved as a part of
   Oklahoma's diminishing resource of free-flowing rivers and streams.
   
   B. The areas of the state designated as "scenic river areas" shall
   include:
   
   1. The Flint Creek and the Illinois River above the confluence of the
   Barren Fork Creek in Cherokee, Adair and Delaware Counties;
   
   2. The Barren Fork Creek in Adair and Cherokee Counties from the
   present alignment of Highway 59 West to the Illinois River;
   
   3. The Upper Mountain Fork River above the 600-foot elevation level of
   Broken Bow Reservoir in McCurtain and LeFlore Counties;
   
   4. Big Lee's Creek, sometimes referred to as Lee Creek, located in
   Sequoyah County, above the 420-foot MSL elevation, excluding that
   portion necessary for a dam to be built in the State of Arkansas with
   a crest elevation of no more than the 420-foot MSL elevation. The
   Oklahoma Water Resources Board shall make such classifications,
   designations or adjustments to Oklahoma's water quality standards as
   required to allow the impoundment of water by said dam; and
   
   5. Little Lee's Creek, sometimes referred to as Little Lee Creek,
   located in Adair and Sequoyah Counties, beginning approximately four
   (4) miles east-southeast of Stilwell, Oklahoma, and ending at its
   conjunction with Big Lee's Creek approximately two (2) miles southwest
   of Short, Oklahoma.
   
   C. The term "scenic river area" as used in this act is defined as the
   stream or river and the public use and access areas located within the
   area designated.
