Authorizes the department of environmental conservation to establish the Lake DeForest Flood Control Pilot Program

This bill authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation to create a pilot program for managing water releases from the privately operated Lake DeForest reservoir to help prevent downstream flooding. The program allows officials to adjust water levels during specific conditions, such as major weather events or high rainfall, while ensuring that drinking water quality and supply remain the primary priority. The legislation is set to take effect on December 31, 2024, and will remain in force for ten years until December 31, 2034.
