§82-1453.
A. Once an area is designated as a "scenic river area", it is the
intent of the Legislature that:
1. The stream or river in the area designated be preserved in its
free-flowing condition; and
2. The stream or river shall not be impounded by any large dam or
structure except as specifically authorized by the Legislature.
B. No agency or official of state government shall authorize or concur
in plans of local, state or federal agencies for the construction,
operation, or maintenance of any dam or related project in any "scenic
river area", without legislative consent, except as needed by the
municipalities located in the counties or the immediate vicinity of
the "scenic river area", for their own municipal or domestic water
supply if such structures will not significantly interfere with the
preservation of the stream as a scenic free-flowing stream.
