Overview
The Idaho Department of Lands manages the beds of navigable lakes and rivers for the benefit of the public, and this rule chapter establishes a consistent process to authorize specific uses of state-owned submerged lands. These uses include bridges, utility crossings, and dams.
Following Executive Order 2020-01: Zero-Based Regulation, this rule chapter is scheduled to be repealed and replaced in 2021 for review during the 2022 legislative session.
In this rulemaking, we anticipate reducing the overall regulatory burden by reducing both total word count and the number of restrictive words in the new rule chapter.
Preliminary research supports a fee increase to cover the actual costs of processing applications. These fees have not changed since they were approved in 1993.
