(1) to secure additional adjoining land that may be necessary to erect power machinery and to construct storage tanks and slush pits for the operation of the river or channel development and to prevent or lessen the dangers of pollution involved in the drilling of any well in the riverbed or channel; and
(2) to secure a right-of-way to and from any well that is drilled in the riverbed or channel so that the board or any of the leaseholders or contracting parties may go to and from the well and may transport any materials necessary to develop the riverbed or channel and to transport oil and gas away from the well.
