This permit is required of any firm, person, corporation or improvement district or municipality whose intentions are to construct, repair, maintain or later any structure, drainage, water pip, conduit or other serviceable item.

 

Applicants are required to submit three original permit forms and three sets of plans indicating purposed impact to the stream channel. Only completed, notarized forms with original signatures will be accepted. Download the permit form.
