If you have considered all of the conditions above and you think adding beach sand will work for your shoreline, you may install a beach sand blanket without an individual permit if the installation meets all of the following conditions: • The sand or gravel layer may be up to 6 inches thick; up to 50 feet wide along the shoreline or one-half the width of the lot, whichever is less; and does not extend more than 10 feet waterward of the ordinary high-water level (OHWL; see sidebar on page 1). • The beach sand blanket does not cover emergent aquatic vegetation, unless authorized by an aquatic plant management permit (contact your local DNR Fisheries office). • Local watershed district and local zoning officials are given at least 7 days' notice by the landowner. • No plant barrier or liner (i.e., filter fabric or plastic) is installed underneath your beach sand. Installation of sand and gravel may be repeated once at the same location but may not exceed the amount of sand and dimensions of the original sand blanket. 2003 State of Minnesota.
