section 3401 of title 18; citations and arrests with and without

-STATUTE-
The Chief of Engineers, under the supervision of the Secretary of
the Army, is authorized to construct, maintain, and operate public
park and recreational facilities at water resource development
projects under the control of the Department of the Army, to permit
the construction of such facilities by local interests
(particularly those to be operated and maintained by such
interests), and to permit the maintenance and operation of such
facilities by local interests. The Secretary of the Army is also
authorized to grant leases of lands, including structures or
facilities thereon, at water resource development projects for such
periods, and upon such terms and for such purposes as he may deem
reasonable in the public interest: Provided, That leases to
nonprofit organizations for park or recreational purposes may be
granted at reduced or nominal considerations in recognition of the
public service to be rendered in utilizing the leased premises:
Provided further, That preference shall be given to Federal, State,
or local governmental agencies, and licenses or leases where
appropriate, may be granted without monetary considerations, to
such agencies for the use of all or any portion of a project area
for any public purpose, when the Secretary of the Army determines
such action to be in the public interest, and for such periods of
time and upon such conditions as he may find advisable: And
provided further, That in any such lease or license to a Federal,
State, or local governmental agency which involves lands to be
utilized for the development and conservation of fish and wildlife,
forests, and other natural resources, the licensee or lessee may be
authorized to cut timber and harvest crops as may be necessary to
further such beneficial uses and to collect and utilize the
proceeds of any sales of timber and crops in the development,
conservation, maintenance, and utilization of such lands. Any
balance of proceeds not so utilized shall be paid to the United
States at such time or times as the Secretary of the Army may
determine appropriate. The water areas of all such projects shall
be open to public use generally for boating, swimming, bathing,
fishing, and other recreational purposes, and ready access to and
exit from such areas along the shores of such projects shall be
maintained for general public use, when such use is determined by
the Secretary of the Army not to be contrary to the public
interest, all under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of
the Army may deem necessary, including but not limited to
prohibitions of dumping and unauthorized disposal in any manner of
refuse, garbage, rubbish, trash, debris, or litter of any kind at
such water resource development projects, either into the waters of
such projects or onto any land federally owned and administered by
the Chief of Engineers. Any violation of such rules and regulations
shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment
for not more than six months, or both. Any persons charged with the
violation of such rules and regulations may be tried and sentenced
in accordance with the provisions of section 3401 of title 18. All
persons designated by the Chief of Engineers for that purpose shall
have the authority to issue a citation for violation of the
regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Army, requiring the
appearance of any person charged with violation to appear before
the United States magistrate judge, within whose jurisdiction the
water resource development project is located, for trial; and upon
sworn information of any competent person any United States
magistrate judge in the proper jurisdiction shall issue process for
the arrest of any person charged with the violation of said
regulations; but nothing herein contained shall be construed as
preventing the arrest by any officer of the United States, without
process, of any person taken in the act of violating said
regulations. No use of any area to which this section applies shall
be permitted which is inconsistent with the laws for the protection
of fish and game of the State in which such area is situated. All
moneys received by the United States for leases or privileges shall
be deposited in the Treasury of the United States as miscellaneous
receipts.

-STATUTE-
In recognition of mounting public demands for recreational
opportunities on areas within the National Wildlife Refuge System,
national fish hatcheries, and other conservation areas administered
by the Secretary of the Interior for fish and wildlife purposes;
and in recognition also of the resulting imperative need, if such
recreational opportunities are provided, to assure that any present
or future recreational use will be compatible with, and will not
prevent accomplishment of, the primary purposes for which the said
conservation areas were acquired or established, the Secretary of
the Interior is authorized, as an appropriate incidental or
secondary use, to administer such areas or parts thereof for public
recreation when in his judgment public recreation can be an
appropriate incidental or secondary use: Provided, That such public
recreation use shall be permitted only to the extent that is
practicable and not inconsistent with other previously authorized
Federal operations or with the primary objectives for which each
particular area is established: Provided further, That in order to
insure accomplishment of such primary objectives, the Secretary,
after consideration of all authorized uses, purposes, and other
pertinent factors relating to individual areas, shall curtail
public recreation use generally or certain types of public
recreation use within individual areas or in portions thereof
whenever he considers such action to be necessary: And provided
further, That none of the aforesaid refuges, hatcheries, game
ranges, and other conservation areas shall be used during any
fiscal year for those forms of recreation that are not directly
related to the primary purposes and functions of the individual
areas until the Secretary shall have determined -
(a) that such recreational use will not interfere with the
primary purposes for which the areas were established, and
(b) that funds are available for the development, operation,
and maintenance of these permitted forms of recreation. This
section shall not be construed to repeal or amend previous
enactments relating to particular areas.
