If any private entity licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for operation of a hydroelectric project or projects on the Lake of the Ozarks imposes any boat dock fee or charge based on the square footage of a boat dock located on such project lands and waters, such square footage shall be calculated based on the total square footage of the surface area of the boat dock minus the square footage of the surface area of all slips in the boat dock.
