N.Y. Canal Law § 100: Granting revocable permits

§ 100. Granting revocable permits. The corporation is hereby

authorized, in its discretion, to issue revocable permits granting

certain limited privileges therein, whenever the same can be done

without detriment to canal navigation or damage to the banks or other

structures thereof. It shall prescribe the terms and conditions by which

such revocable permits may be issued for the temporary use of canal

lands or structures and for the diversion of canal waters for sanitary,

farm purposes, or industrial use. It may also issue permits, as it shall

deem to be advantageous to the corporation, to any person, firm or

corporation, to cut, gather and haul away ice from the canals. Whenever

any space and facilities are available at any canal terminal and when no

detriment or injury to canal traffic or delay in handling same would

result, the corporation may issue a revocable permit for the temporary

and restricted use or occupancy, of such canal terminal and the

facilities thereof, pursuant to the rules and regulations which it may

prescribe. All permits heretofore granted by the corporation and not

canceled, are hereby legalized and confirmed and made effectual and

valid in accordance with the terms and conditions in said permit as

fully as if this chapter had been in force on the date of issuance of

such permit. No liability of any kind shall attach to or rest upon the

state, including the corporation, for any damage on account of the

granting or revocation of any permit. Existing permit holders within the

Adirondack park in compliance with the terms of permits which have been

properly issued pursuant to law shall continue to be afforded permits at

least until the first day of June, nineteen hundred ninety-four, unless

such permit holders fail to apply for permit renewal within six months

of the expiration of such existing or former permit or permits, or by

the first day of August, nineteen hundred ninety-three, whichever is

later; provided, however, that no additional development right or rights

may be included in any permit renewed prior to the first day of June,

nineteen hundred ninety-five. Any revenue realized from the issuance of

such permits shall be deposited into the canal fund.
