What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally prohibits any person from depositing any material or

placing any structure upon the bed of a navigable water without a permit issued by

the Department of Natural Resources. Under current law, certain deposits and

structures are exempt from this permit requirement. For example, a riparian owner

(a person who owns land adjacent to a navigable water) may place a pier on the bed

of a navigable water if the pier meets certain size and location requirements.

This bill creates another exemption to the general permit requirement. Under

this bill, no permit is required for the placement of a pier in a federally administered

area of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway if the pier is placed by the National

Park Service, the pier contains a floating toilet facility, and the floating toilet facility

meets specifications approved by the National Park Service.
