(a) The legislature finds that:
(1) the areas that surround Lake Alan Henry, Lake Cooper, Lake Ralph Hall, Post Lake, and Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir are or will be frequented for recreational purposes by residents from every part of the state;
(2) development in the area, including the construction of on-site water treatment systems or other sources of contamination, may impact the water quality in the lakes and the reservoir;
(3) orderly development and use of the area is of concern to the entire state; and
(4) buildings in the area that will be frequented for resort or recreational purposes will tend to become congested and to be used in ways that interfere with the proper use of the area as a place of recreation to the detriment of the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare.
(b) The powers granted under this subchapter are for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, peace, morals, and general welfare and encouraging recreation.
