1. (1) Specify that the State of Oregon has determined that Detroit Lake is an important recreational resource to the citizens of Oregon.
2. (2) Encourage the United States Army Corps of Engineers to place Detroit Lake as the highest priority recreational use lake in the Willamette Basin reservoir system.
3. (3) If the United States Army Corps of Engineers indicates that recreational use of Detroit Lake will not receive the highest priority, notify communities that may be detrimentally affected by such a decision and hold public meetings within the affected communities.

Note: 536.595 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 536 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
