(1) When the council has received and
accepted the study, it shall make the same available to all appropriate and
interested city, county, health district, state and federal agencies and to
any interested individual or affected lake agency or association. For a period
of ninety (90) days after dissemination, any interested agency or person may
submit written suggestions, comments or proposals for the lake management plan
or recommendations to the council.
(2) The council shall thereafter prepare a lake management plan and
recommendations which shall be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days
after dissemination of the examination and baseline study.
(3) The council shall identify sources and types of pollution within the
planning area and identify existing and potential programs and measures by
which this pollution might be abated, and summarize the past successes of
these efforts, including notable voids in funding, regulatory powers or
interagency coordination.
(4) The council shall identify present and future water and land uses
within the watershed and comment on the implication of these various uses on
the lake.
(5) Once completed, the council shall provide copies of its plan and
recommendations to all agencies, persons and associations who have indicated
an interest in the examination and baseline study. The council shall thereupon
provide for one (1) or more public hearings upon its lake management plan and
recommendations with notice given as provided in chapter 52, title 67, Idaho
Code.
(6) After receiving the information obtained at the public hearing(s),
the council shall make such changes and revisions as it deems necessary and
within thirty (30) days after such public hearing, but in no event later than
the next regular session of the Idaho legislature, the council shall submit
the plan to the legislature.
(7) The legislature shall, within the next regular session during or
after which it receives the plan, accept, reject or modify the plan. Such
accepted or modified plan shall have the force and effect of law.
(8) Thereafter, the council shall assist public and governmental
authorities to adopt and enforce the provisions of the plan for which that
authority has a responsibility. Before its disbandment, the council shall also
assist these authorities to establish an ongoing joint-agency oversight
responsibility for the plan and its recommendations.
