(70 ILCS 1810/4a) (from Ch. 19, par. 155a)
Sec. 4a.
Any changes and modifications in harbor plans within the
area of the Port District from time to time recommended by the District
or any comprehensive plan for the development of the port facilities
adopted by said District, pursuant to authority granted by this Act,
shall be submitted to the Department of Natural Resources of the State of
Illinois for approval, and the approval thereof by that Department shall
be conclusive evidence, for all purposes, that such changes and
modifications conform to the provisions of this Act; provided, however,
that no such changes or modifications shall be submitted by the District
or approved by the Department of Natural Resources which
reduce the total
area of Senator Dan Dougherty Harbor to less than 350 acres,
or the basin thereof to an area less than the Federal Navigational Channel.
The title to certain lands in and
near Lake Calumet in the City of Chicago acquired by the Port District
by the deed heretofore made by the City of Chicago to said District is
hereby confirmed; excepting, however, so much of such lands as fall
within the limits of the water area of Senator Dan Dougherty Harbor. If
any changes or modifications should at any time or times hereafter be made
in harbor plans, as herein authorized, which have the effect of altering
the water area of the Senator Dan Dougherty Harbor, then and in that event
the District shall have and be entitled to all the right, title and
interest of the State of Illinois in and to any of the lands so reclaimed
which, by reason of such future changes or modifications, thereafter cease
to form a part of the water area of the Senator Dan Dougherty Harbor.
