Although access on the levees will be suspended, the underlying easements and public access rights to the levee shall not be extinguished. If the permittees wish to use the public access areas on the exterior levees for uses other than levee maintenance, public access or wildlife management purposes, the permittees must obtain prior written approval by or on behalf of the Commission. b. Alternative Inland Access. The alternative inland access areas, trails and related improvements, with the exception of the public access trails located parallel to Shearwater Parkway, as shown on Exhibit B, that have been deleted pursuant to Amendment No. Five of this amended permit and replaced by comparable access paths required pursuant to Commission Permit No. 5-07, shall be made available for walking, bicycling, sitting, viewing, picnicking, and related purposes. If the permittees wish to use the alternative inland public access areas purposes for other than public access, they must obtain prior written approval by or on behalf of the Commission. 2.

Changes in any of the above may trigger a Commission review of the public access restrictions after appropriate review and coordination with the State Lands Commission and resource agencies. Such review may lead to a revocation of access restrictions on the exterior levee, or additional or modified public access trails and areas along an inland route in connection with those changed conditions. The Commission reserves the right to revoke or otherwise modify the public access restrictions provided herein on the exterior levee, or propose changes to the
