(1) Revetments shall be placed landward of associated wetlands.

(2) Revetments shall be located sufficiently landward of the stream channel to allow streams to maintain point bars and associated aquatic habitat through normal accretion.

(3) Revetments shall be prohibited on estuarine shores, in wetlands, on point and channel bars, and in channel migration zones.

(4) When requesting a permit for a revetment along a stream or river, the proponent shall provide a geotechnical analysis of stream geomorphology both upstream and downstream of the proposed revetment site to assess the physical character and hydraulic energy potential of the specific stream reach and adjacent upstream or downstream reaches. The purpose of such analysis is to assure that the physical integrity of the stream corridor is maintained, that stream processes including channel migration are not adversely impacted, and that the revetment would not cause significant damage to other properties or shoreline functions and processes.
