and will not be authorized. The licensee will only allow temporary or 
low impact uses within the project facilities land use classification. 
Within the public recreation development land use classification, any 
request for a non-project use will be looked at on a case-by-case basis 
to ensure that it does not pose safety, access, use, cultural, and/or 
environmental impacts, or that it does not impair the licensee's 
ability to safely operate the project.
