10.1-402)

The Department may review and make recommendations regarding all planning for
the use and development of water and related land resources including the
construction of impoundments, diversions, roadways, crossings, channels, locks,
canals, or other uses that change the character of a stream or waterway or
destroy its scenic assets, so that full consideration and evaluation of the
river as a scenic resource will be given before alternative plans for use and
development are approved. To effectuate the purposes of this section, all state
and local agencies shall consider the recommendations of the Department.
