Levees and Floodplain Fills
Activities affecting floodplains are regulated by the Division of Water Resources. The Water Structures program provides permit approval for levee and floodplain issues. The Levee Law of 1929 makes it unlawful to construct fills and levees without prior approval of the chief engineer.
