1) The project has been
designed and will be constructed and operated in a way which will minimize and
mitigate to the fullest practicable extent its encroachment on the body of
water and its impairment of the rights, interests and uses of the public in the
body of water and in the natural resources thereof; and
2) There would be a public benefit, such as
the enhancement of navigation, boating, hunting or other normal and lawful use
of the body of water, resulting from the activity which would offset the
