Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 49-11-520(A) and (B) and inserting:

 (A) After completion of construction of the replacement dam, as well as modifications to the historic dam and the associated appurtenances, and upon transfer from the Lake Conestee Dam Restoration Project, the authority shall assume ownership of the dam and its associated assets. Upon assumption of ownership of the dam, the authority must monitor the dam's condition to ensure that the dam is in good repair and operating condition and comply with the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the dam, including, but not limited to, the conditions contained in the dam's operating permit. If the authority, or any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the dam, determines that the dam is unsafe and a danger to life or property, then the authority must notify the governing bodies of Laurens County, Greenwood County, and Greenville County and notify the Department of Environmental Services pursuant to Section 49-11-170. The governing bodies of the three counties must work together with the authority to take such action as is necessary to bring the dam back into good repair and operating condition. If any funds are required to be expended pursuant to this act, the cost of such funds must be apportioned equally among the counties comprising the authority.
 (B) The authority shall ensure that the Department of Environmental Services timely inspects the dam as provided in Article 3. If the department issues an order pursuant to Section 49-11-160 or Section 49-11-190, then the governing bodies of the three counties must work together with the authority to take such action as is necessary to take remedial action to correct deficiencies identified in the order. If any funds are required to be expended to take remedial action to correct deficiencies, the cost of such funds must be apportioned equally among the counties comprising the authority
