Sec. 2.5. (a) For the purposes of this chapter, a reference to "drain", "drainage", or "ditch" is deemed to include a "dam". However, sections 16(b), 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 54, and sections 56 through 66 of this chapter do not apply to a dam.
(b) Any owner may petition a board to designate a dam as a regulated drain, and any board may assume jurisdiction over a dam in the same manner that an owner may petition and the board may assume jurisdiction over a mutual drain. A board does not otherwise have jurisdiction over a dam.
(c) A board may reconstruct or maintain a dam over which the board has assumed jurisdiction, but an agency may not construct a new dam.
