§ 8718 Levee Modification Board Approval

• •You can't change or build anything like walls or mounds in a flood channel without asking the board first.
• •The board has to say it's okay before you do any work in these areas.
• •This rule is to keep flood channels working right and stop floods.

If you own land next to a flood channel and want to build a small wall to protect your house, you can't just do it.

You have to ask the board for permission first. If you build the wall without asking, you could get in trouble.
