Any agency formed under this subsection shall have the same authority and composition as that given agencies under subsection 1.A and/or 1.B above as appropriate.
D. TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY. The governor may remove an area from this special designation when he determines its water problems no longer require the special attention provided in this section. The governor may remove any person appointed to such agencies for cause or designate another agency to carry out the duties of this section.
2. The clean water commission shall have all authority set forth in subsections 1.A and 1.B above necessary to accomplish and implement the state's continuing planning process as required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
