SUMMARY 
This amendment replaces that section of the resolve that 
authorizes conveyance of certain lots on First Roach Pond with 
revised language to correct the 
name 
of the association of 
leaseholders, better describe and identify the lots and allow the 
transfer to either the First Roach Pond Leaseholders Coalition or 
its individual members. 
It directs the Director of the Bureau of 
Parks and Lands within the Department of Conservation to take 
action to ensure continuing public access to the campground lot 
retained by the State if that portion of the Frenchtown Road used 
to access the campground is discontinued as a county road. 
The amendment also removes section 4 from the resolve, which 
proposed authorizing conveying land in Skowhegan known as the 
Yankee Woodlot to the Somerset County Commissioners.
