6115.0201 <br />MINNESOTA RULES 26 <br />(3) The methods, uses, and locations to be employed in excavating and disposing of <br />excavated material consistent with the provisions of parts 6115.0190 to 6115.0192. <br />(4) Existing water quality data and provision for future water quality monitoring <br />including any water returned to the waterbasin during the removal of excavated materials. <br />(5) A timetable which indicates anticipated yearly excavation areas and volumes of <br />materials to be removed, plus the selected disposal methods, uses, and deposition locations for each <br />excavation period. <br />(6) A detailed description of proposed excavation and disposal equipment and facilities, <br />including, where applicable, the length of discharge pipe purchased or available for the project and <br />the pumping characteristics of the equipment. <br />Subp. 4. Excavations for navigation -related purposes. Excavations for navigation -related <br />purposes: <br />A. Access channels from shorelines for recreational craft. Excavations for accesses from <br />shorelines to reach navigable depths shall not be allowed if access could reasonably be obtained <br />through use of a dock to reach navigable depths, and prevalent wind, wave, and current conditions <br />would not impair reasonable access to reach navigable depths. <br />When shoreline conditions and wind, wave, and current conditions preclude access to navigable <br />depths, excavations for navigational access shall be allowed provided the access channel shall not <br />exceed four feet in depth, more than 15 feet in bottom width, and will not extend to an offshore <br />water depth greater than four feet. <br />B. Other navigational channels. Excavations shall be limited to the minimum depth and <br />width necessary to allow reasonable use of anticipated watercraft. <br />Excavations to provide maintenance of navigational channel projects shall be limited to the <br />length, width, and depth dimensions of the original channel. <br />Subp. 5. Harbors and boat slips. Harbors and boat slips: <br />A. Excavations for development of offshore or inland harbors or boat slips for the mooring <br />of more than 25 watercraft or watercraft larger than 20 feet in length shall be restricted to those <br />waters which have the following characteristics: <br />(1) waterbasins having areas of 1,000 acres or more; <br />(2) watercourses which are used for commercial or industrial navigational purposes. <br />B. Excavations for development of offshore harbors serving fewer than 25 watercraft shall <br />be limited to those water areas where the location of the proposed offshore harbor would not create <br />unreasonable obstructions to public use and navigation on the water involved. Unreasonable <br />obstructions include any development which would result in threats to public health, safety, or <br />welfare. <br />Copyright © 2019 by the Revisor of Statutes, State of Minnesota.
