ALG26-2006 - Shoreline / Bank Protection: Shoreline protection shall only be considered in those areas where the riparian vegetation proves inadequate in preventing erosion. The shoreline protection is LIMITED TO the placement of riprap.
· Protection must be along the existing shoreline at the plane of ordinary high tide, or landward of all jurisdictional wetlands (including bottomland hardwoods) at the time of construction, unless otherwise specifically authorized.
· The activity shall not exceed one cubic yard per linear foot placed along the bank below the mean high tide line. Only clean material, free of exposed rebar, asphalt, plastic, soil, etc., may be used. Use of filter cloth is required.
· Protection fronting wetlands (ALG26): No wetlands shall be filled, although protection may be provided for wetland areas as long as the wetlands are not otherwise adversely impacted. If the area or any portion to be protected is wetlands, no fill will be placed on the wetlands and the shoreline protection must be designed to allow the normal hydrologic regime to be maintained in wetland areas.
· Bank Dressing (ALG26): Should the shore or bank require dressing, the bedding placed below the plane of mean high tide may not exceed an average of one (1) cubic yard per linear foot of shoreline being protected, unless otherwise specifically authorized.
Excluded Activities (ALG26): This permit does not authorize (1) filling of wetlands which includes bottomland hardwoods; (2) the construction of ancillary structures such as wing walls, groins, jetties, or any solid structures roughly perpendicular to the shore or bank; or (3) any activity to regain land lost to erosion, or otherwise accrete land.
