Waterway & Wetland Permits: Lake Shore Erosion Control
“I am concerned about erosion along my lake or flowage shoreline. What should I do to protect the shoreline? Do I need to obtain a permit?” Natural shoreline features provide erosion control in various ways. Every shoreline is exposed to different natural events and human activities that can cause erosion. A small amount of soil erosion may not be a cause for any concern, but intervention may be needed on some shorelines. A permit may be required. Please see our causes of erosion Web page for more information on lake shore erosion.
