N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law § 15-2705: Jurisdiction of the commissioner and the Adirondack park agency

§ 15-2705. Jurisdiction of the commissioner and the Adirondack park

agency.

Notwithstanding provisions of any other general or special law, the

functions, powers and duties encompassed by this section shall be vested

in the Adirondack park agency as to any privately owned part of a river

area within the Adirondack park as defined by law which may become part

of the system; however, the commissioner shall have exclusive

jurisdiction over all other river areas in the state and of all parts of

river areas owned by the state located within the Adirondack park which

may become part of the system. This section shall not be construed to

divest the commissioner from the exercise of functions, powers and

duties which have not been delegated by law to the agency. If the

commissioner or the agency shall conduct any studies, proceedings or

activities under this section or otherwise which affect or may affect

river areas, any part of which are within the Adirondack park, they

shall consult and cooperate to carry out the purposes of this title.
