2020 Mississippi Code|Title 51 - Waters, Water Resources, Water Districts, Drainage, and Flood Control|Chapter 4 - Mississippi Scenic Streams Stewardship Act|§ 51-4-11. Notice of designation; development of cooperative voluntary stewardship plan; protection of private property rights

  After the Legislature has designated a stream as a state scenic stream, the department shall publish a notice of the designation and provide written notice to the affected units of local government and landowners. Notice of the designation also must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the state to apprise interested parties of the opportunities under this chapter. The notice must describe the boundaries of the stream or stream segment.     The department and the advisory council shall develop a cooperative voluntary stewardship plan for the scenic stream. The department shall consult and cooperate with the State Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the State Forestry Commission in developing the stewardship options utilizing current best management practices. Any other affected state agency may also make recommendations to the department. The plan shall identify current and traditional uses along the stream and outline goals, objectives and action strategies to address the management of resources along the stream.   The plan shall utilize best management practices to maintain the scenic values of the stream while ensuring the rights of riparian landowners to continue existing agriculture, forestry, water supply, recreational, commercial and industrial uses and any other uses identified in the plan.       The plan shall provide several stewardship options for a landowner. The options shall vary in length of commitment, degree of involvement and enforceability. An option may be modified to meet the needs of a landowner based on the individual attributes of the stream.   Participation in the stewardship plan is voluntary. A landowner is under no obligation to participate in the plan. A participating landowner must give at least thirty (30) days' notice of his intent to terminate a nonbinding option and to withdraw from the program.       The department may receive by gift, devise, grant or dedication, conservation easements or other interest in real property for the State Scenic Streams Stewardship Program.   If any land is donated to the state for the Scenic Streams Stewardship Program and the land ceases to be used in the program, the title to the land reverts to the donor.     Any lands placed in the State Scenic Streams Stewardship Program may be obtained only from private or corporate owners voluntarily. Land placed in the State Scenic Streams Stewardship Program shall not be obtained by eminent domain.
