Lake Encroachment Permits

Building homes, installing docs, making beaches, removing trees and many other projects are regulated by thestate of Vermont. As a courtesy we are providing this information to enable you to contact the state directlyand have your questions answered. The following information is always changing and we do not warrant theinformation in any way. Please contact the State directly.

Lake Encroachment Permits (LEP) are issued under 29 V.S.A. Chapter 11 (Management of Lakes and Ponds),which regulates encroachment in public waters. The goals of this program are to minimize the encroachment onpublic waters as well as ensure that projects do not adversely affect the public good and are consistent with thePublic Trust Doctrine.

What Projects require a Permit:

Projects encroaching on public waters such as docks, walls, boathouses, bridges, water intakes, cables,dredging, or fill, may require a permit.

Encroach means:

to place or cause to be placed any material or structure in any lakes and ponds which are public waters,or

to alter, or cause to be altered, the lands underlying any public waters, or to place or cause to be placed any bridge, dock, boathouse, cable, pipeline or similar structure beyond

the shoreline delineated by the mean water level of any lakes and ponds which are public waters, and tothe lower sections of tributaries to Lake Champlain, Lake Memphremagog and the Connecticut River.

Certain small projects or activities are exempt. These include:

docks for non-commercial use, mounted on posts or floats - provided that the combined horizontaldistance of all docks within 100 feet of each other which are owned/controlled by one person does notexceed 50 feet in length and the combined surface area does not exceed 500 square feet; and providedthat concrete, masonry, earth or rock fill, sheet piling, bulkheading, cribwork or similar construction isnot part of the encroachment

water intake pipes not exceeding two inches inside diameter temporary extensions of existing structures added for a period not to exceed 6 months, if required by low

water ordinary repairs and maintenance, not including expansion or complete replacement duck blinds, floats, rafts and buoys the installation on lake bottoms of small filtering devices not exceeding nine square feet of disturbed

area on the end of water intake pipes less than two inches in diameter for the purpose of zebra musselcontrol.

These activities may also require a Vermont Wetland Permit if there are wetland impacts. Some projects mayrequire a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from theWatershed Management Division.

Technical Assistance

The Lake Encroachment Program provides technical assistance regarding shoreline stabilization, encouragingnonstructural solutions where feasible. In general, maintaining a natural shoreline by reestablishing plantgrowth along the shore is less expensive and more beneficial than a wall along the shore.

Application for a Permit

A LEP application form may be downloaded: pdf format (129 KB) or Word format (39 KB). The scope anddetail of the information required from an applicant depends on the specific nature of the project beingproposed.

If you have any questions regarding the application form or whether a permit is necessary for your proposedactivity, contact Megan McIntyre at megan.mcintyre@state.vt.us or at (802) 490-6110.

Review Process

Once an application is complete, it is sent with a request for comments to adjoining landowners; local, regionaland state offices; and other interested persons. The Watershed Management Division may conductinvestigations, meetings, and site evaluations to verify information contained in an application. Generally ittakes from 60-90 days for final decision to be issued once an application is considered complete.

The factors considered during the review of a project's effect on the public good include the water quality; fishand wildlife habitat; aquatic and shoreline vegetation; navigation, recreation and other uses; consistency withthe natural surroundings; consistency with local ordinances or state plans; and the cumulative impact of otherexisting encroachments.

Applications are also reviewed for consistency with the Public Trust Doctrine. There must be some publicpurpose, public benefit, or both associated with the project in order for the application to be approved. Inmaking this public trust determination, consideration will be given to the public purpose served by theencroachment, the public benefits created by the proposed encroachment, and any adverse impacts on publictrust uses and the public resource as a result of the encroachment.
