Regarding disposal of dredged riverbed materials.

Summary

  • Allows any landowner that has accepted materials dredged from specified rivers onto his or her property prior to January 1, 2009, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the materials without having to pay compensation to the state.
  • Allows dredge spoils removed from specified rivers between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2017, to be sold, transferred, or disposed without paying compensation to the DNR if the land where the materials are located was not used as a source for the commercial sale of similar materials prior to the beginning of the year 2009.
  • Allows a landowner who is ineligible to sell the material without paying compensation based on commercial activities prior to 2009 to use dredge spoils removed from specified rivers between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2017, without having to pay compensation to the state; however, any commercial sale of the materials would require the payment of compensation.
  • Requires the Department of Natural Resources to provide a summation of funds that would have accrued to the state if landowners were required to compensate the DNR for the materials.
