15  from the United States Government, for improved management and

16  recreational opportunities.

18  identify, contact, and inform all property owners who entered

19  into easements located within the taking line of the Rodman

20  Reservoir of the designation of this area as a state

21  recreation area.

22         (4)  By January 1, 2001, the Division of State Lands is

23  directed to submit a report to the Executive Office of the

24  Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
