Shoreline Alterations: Beach • • <br /> If you have considered all of the conditions above and you think adding beach sand or gravel will work for your <br /> shoreline,you may install a beach blanket without an individual permit if the installation meets all of the following <br /> conditions: <br /> • The sand or gravel layer may be up to 6 inches thick; up to 50 feet wide along the shoreline or one-half the width <br /> of the lot,whichever is less; and up to 10 feet waterward of the ordinary high-water level (OHWL; see sidebar on <br /> page 1). <br /> • The beach blanket does not cover emergent aquatic vegetation,unless authorized by an aquatic plant management <br /> permit(contact your local DNR Fisheries office). <br /> • The sand or gravel is clean and washed so that it is free of fine particles. <br /> • Local watershed district and local zoning officials are given at least 7 days'notice by the landowner. <br /> • No plant barrier or liner(i.e.,filter fabric or plastic) is installed underneath your beach sand. <br /> Installation of sand and gravel may be repeated once at the same location but may not exceed the amount of sand <br /> and dimensions of the original sand blanket. <br /> ©2012 State of Minnesota,Department of Natural Resources.Prepared by DNR Ecological and Water Resources.Based on Minnesota Statutes 103G, <br /> Public Waters Work Permit Program Rules Chapter 6115. <br /> �4 <br /> thift " . <br /> Another example of a beach blanket is pictured above. ,: OHVVI_ , <br /> 3!
