Further, "with regards to all rights and authorities transferred to the Grand River Dam Authority . . . , all rules of the Scenic Rivers Commission relating to licensing, use permits and protection of natural resources [see OAC 630], are hereby transferred to the Grand River Dam Authority to the extent the rules are consistent with state law and rules of the Authority for the purpose of implementing and enforcing the provisions of the Scenic Rivers Act. The rules shall remain in effect only until July 1, 2017, at which time the transferred rules will terminate unless earlier superseded by rules promulgated by the Authority."
