Currently, only riparian owners (owners of the land immediately adjacent to the waters of the State) may apply for a lease to use Great Lakes submerged lands, or an agreement to use the water over those lands. The bill would allow the Department of Environmental Quality to accept an application from an approved organization, whether or not a riparian owner, for a lease or agreement to use the Great Lakes bottomlands on which a lighthouse was located, and the water immediately above the bottomlands adjacent to the lighthouse. The bill would define "approved organization" as a nonprofit entity approved by the Department of Environmental Quality, a local unit of government, a Federal or State agency or department, an educational agency, or a community development organization, seeking a lease or agreement to use the bottomlands for the purpose of restoring or maintaining a lighthouse.
