No permit is required if the removal meets certain requirements, including that the removal occurs within the riparian owner's riparian zone, which is a specified area extending waterward of the shoreline; the removal is limited to a specified amount of material; the removal occurs in a navigable water that is affected by a man-made impoundment; the material removed is unconsolidated sediment that was deposited after the navigable water was affected by the impoundment; and the removal is undertaken in order to navigate from the shoreline of the riparian property to a specified water depth.
