Section 100. Granting revocable permits

The  corporation  is  hereby
  authorized, in its  discretion,  to  issue  revocable  permits  granting
  certain  limited  privileges  therein,  whenever  the  same  can be done
  without detriment to canal navigation or damage to the  banks  or  other
  structures thereof. It shall prescribe the terms and conditions by which
  such  revocable  permits  may  be  issued for the temporary use of canal
  lands or structures and for the diversion of canal waters for  sanitary,
  farm purposes, or industrial use. It may also issue permits, as it shall
  deem  to  be  advantageous  to  the  corporation, to any person, firm or
  corporation, to cut, gather and haul away ice from the canals.  Whenever
  any space and facilities are available at any canal terminal and when no
  detriment  or  injury  to  canal traffic or delay in handling same would
  result, the corporation may issue a revocable permit for  the  temporary
  and  restricted  use  or  occupancy,  of  such  canal  terminal  and the
  facilities thereof, pursuant to the rules and regulations which  it  may
  prescribe.  All  permits  heretofore  granted by the corporation and not
  canceled, are hereby legalized and  confirmed  and  made  effectual  and
  valid  in  accordance  with  the  terms and conditions in said permit as
  fully as if this chapter had been in force on the date  of  issuance  of
  such  permit.  No liability of any kind shall attach to or rest upon the
  state, including the corporation, for  any  damage  on  account  of  the
  granting or revocation of any permit. Existing permit holders within the
  Adirondack  park in compliance with the terms of permits which have been
  properly issued pursuant to law shall continue to be afforded permits at
  least until the first day of June, nineteen hundred ninety-four,  unless
  such  permit  holders fail to apply for permit renewal within six months
  of the expiration of such existing or former permit or  permits,  or  by
  the  first  day  of  August, nineteen hundred ninety-three, whichever is
  later; provided, however, that no additional development right or rights
  may be included in any permit renewed prior to the first  day  of  June,
  nineteen  hundred ninety-five. Any revenue realized from the issuance of
  such permits shall be deposited into the canal fund.
