§ 8608 Levee And Flood Control Standards

• •The board makes rules to keep levees, channels, and flood control projects safe and working right.
• •These rules cover things like building, plants, and stopping soil from washing away.
• •The board also thinks about fish, wildlife, fun activities, and the environment when making these rules.
• •If you break these rules without asking the board, it’s a problem, and the board can take you to court to fix it.

Someone builds a fence too close to a levee without asking the board.

The board made rules to keep levees clear so they work properly during floods. If you build something like a fence too close without permission, the board can make you remove it because it could block the levee and cause flooding.
