Sec. 1. The Department of Natural Resources may
independently engage in, or may make agreements with any
agency of the United States, any municipality or political
subdivision of this State or any public or private
corporation, person or association for, the formulation of
plans, acquisition of rights of way, and the construction,
operation and maintenance of any navigation, flood control,

improvements and facilities in connection with the
development of the Kaskaskia River watershed, including

an amount required to pay federal operation and maintenance
charges incurred as a result of water withdrawal from Lake
Shelbyville and Carlyle Lake.
The Department, on behalf of the State of Illinois as
local sponsor for federally authorized and developed
Kaskaskia River basin projects, shall have jurisdiction and

improvements in such basin, including, but not limited to
nonfederal participation requirements in connection
therewith, and full authority and control over any and all
lands acquired in connection with the development of the
Kaskaskia River watershed and may, in the discretion of the
Department, grant easements, lease for a period not to exceed
50 years, sell, transfer or convey, exchange, develop, or
otherwise utilize such lands in the interest of the State of
Illinois insofar as the same is not inconsistent or in
conflict with the purpose for which acquired by the
Department.
