Section 5.2 - 1 ater Quality.

I nete that the dr:ft st stement c Les no reco nitien cf t::2 fcct that water use in the State o1 !'ichigan rests on the rip 3rian doctrine. This doctrine could hate a very sinnificant effect en the arount of t. uter arailabic to Const=:r-IW:or Cc. peny for diversion to their planned cccling pond.

In c'h:fr t:erda, dc.:nstrea riparians could, by legal actien, seek todifications of the diversicas new planned.

I note that the Department of Interior by letter of Octcher 23,1970 also ruised questient. ccncerning water supply and on Nover.her 25, 1970 Constners Ib:er Corpani responded that they "will use the river water within the licits prescribed </ the Michigan Kater !<cscurce Cornission.:n its Order of Deter-minut ion dated OctoScr 15, 1970".

I believe this resrense is misleadin;;

in that the !.ichiga. llater Qrraission has no authority to g, rant peraits for diversion and, in fect, has not done so.
