SITE SUITABILITY GUIDELINES Access site development should not result in major negative environmental impacts. On some lakes, access opportunities may be limited to properties which are low and wet, steep, or have other characteristics that make them difficult to develop. Public agencies should try to acquire accesses which do not require excessive dredging, filling, and other shoreland modifications or roadway cuts and fills which may result in erosion or be.visually unattractive. * Note: The Metropolitan Water Access Task Force is currently considering amending this guideline. The amended guideline will be made available to prospective applicants by August 1--in time for consideration by applicants when preparing final applications.
