16 U.S.C. § 460w–5 — Administration, protection, and development of lakeshore by Secretary

(a) In general: The lakeshore is administered, protected, and developed under this section and under the general 1916 law that governs National Park Service areas (16 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2–4), as well as section 101511 of title 54. The Secretary may also use any other legal authority available for conserving and managing natural resources, as long as doing so helps achieve this subchapter's purposes.

(b) Federal use: Even though section 460w(c) of this title exists, the head of the department that runs the Coast Guard may still operate, maintain, inspect, repair, and replace any federal navigation aid located at the Ashland Harbor Breakwater Light, for as long as that aid is needed. To do this work, that official may enter the Ashland Harbor Breakwater Light or its navigation equipment at any time, without giving advance notice if giving notice isn't possible.

(c) Clarification of authority: Using authority it already has, the Secretary may make agreements with the City of Ashland and the Counties of Ashland and Bayfield, Wisconsin, to cooperate on law enforcement and emergency services within the lakeshore's boundaries.
