What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows a person who owns waterfront property (riparian owner) to

remove certain material from the bed of an inland navigable water without obtaining

a permit from the Department of Natural Resources. 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.
