The proposed legislation aims to add two lakes, Lake Oscawana and Roaring Brook Lake, to the definition of inland waterways in New York State. These lakes are located in Putnam County and would be included in the state's existing list of major inland lakes. The addition of these lakes would allow for more specific regulations and protections to be put in place to conserve and protect these waterways. The changes would take effect immediately.
