Section 2. Declaration of policy.
Because the Commonwealth currently is holding an exemption from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which will expire before much broader legislation can be enacted, it is imperative that the Department of Environmental Resources be authorized to lease the hydroelectric facility located at Chain Dam on the Lehigh River.
Compiler's Note: The Department of Environmental Resources,
referred to in this section, was abolished by Act 18 of
1995. Its functions were transferred to the Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources and the Department of
Environmental Protection.
