N.Y. Public Lands Law § 92-b

§ 92-b. Permits authorizing flow of springs. The commissioner of\nparks and recreation may issue an annual permit permitting the flow of\nsuch spring in such amount and at such times as such permit shall\nspecify. No permit shall be issued unless it appears that the flow of\nsuch spring will not result in the depletion of the amount of flow, gas\nor mineral content of the spring for which a permit is asked, or of any\nother like spring, nor unless it also appears that the flow of said\nspring is of scenic interest or that the flow of such spring is\nnecessary to regulate or protect the flow of neighboring springs. If at\nany time it satisfactorily appears to the commissioner of parks and\nrecreation that the required conditions for issuing a permit no longer\nexist, such permit may be revoked upon ten days notice.\n
