<br />6115.0160 SCOPE.
<br />To achieve the purpose declared in part 6115.0150, parts 6115.0160 to 6115.0280 set forth
<br />minimum standards and criteria for the review, issuance, and denial of permits for proposed projects
<br />affecting public waters. Permits are required for any activity affecting the course, current, or
<br />cross-section of public waters unless specifically exempted within parts 6115.0160 to 6115.0280.
<br />These standards and criteria apply to the public waterbasins, public watercourses, and public
<br />water wetlands identified on public water inventory maps authorized by Minnesota Statutes, section
<br />103G.201. The designation of waters of the state as public waters does not grant the public additional
<br />rights or grant right of access to the waters, diminish the right of ownership or usage of the beds
<br />underlying the designated public waters, affect state law forbidding trespass on private lands, or
<br />require the commissioner to acquire access to the designated public waters under Minnesota Statutes,
<br />section 97A.141.
<br />These standards and criteria apply to any and all work that will cause or result in the alteration
<br />of the course, current, or cross-section of public waters except for the following:
<br />A. utility crossings of public waters that are regulated under Minnesota Statutes, section
<br />84.415, and rules adopted thereunder;
<br />B. planting, destruction, and control of aquatic vegetation that is regulated under Minnesota
<br />Statutes, section 103G.615, and rules adopted thereunder;
<br />C. water aeration systems that are regulated under Minnesota Statutes, section 103 G.611,
<br />and rules adopted thereunder;
<br />D. watercraft, buoys, or other structures that are regulated under Minnesota Statutes, section
<br />86B.111, 86B.211, or 86B.401, and rules adopted thereunder; or
<br />E. water appropriations that are regulated under Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.271, and
<br />rules adopted thereunder.
