Waterbody Barrier (Seawall) Registration

The purpose of the Waterbody Barrier ordinance is to enhance the health, safety, and general welfare of the public and protect our natural resources by requiring property owners to obtain and maintain a Certificate of Registration of Waterbody Barrier. These regulations facilitate preventative maintenance planning and regular inspections to reduce the occurrence of waterbody barrier compromise or failure, as well as protocols to guide appropriate emergency response activities. Identifying waterbody barriers and monitoring their structural integrity to identify potential issues prior to catastrophic failures will protect the health and safety of the public, reduce negative impacts on the environment, and preserve the stability of our drinking water supply.
