This bill would provide for permits for shoreline restoration, including the use of living shoreline techniques, by riparian property owners in coastal areas. The bill would authorize riparian property owners to sever and use materials in their riparian rights use area for the purposes of shoreline restoration for a fee of one-half of that charged by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources or the Department of Environmental Management for constructing bulkheads or seawalls, when the source sediment is used for the construction of living shorelines in front of a property owner's riparian property.
