Docket 20-0304-2401
Purpose of Rule
The Idaho Department of Lands (Department) manages IDAPA 20.03.04 Rules for the Regulation of Beds, Waters and Airspace Over Navigable Lakes in Idaho pursuant to Title 58, Chapters 1 and 13, Idaho Code. This rule protects the state’s navigable lakes by setting standards for encroachments. By regulating encroachments, this rule protects property, navigation, fish and wildlife habitat, aquatic life, recreation, aesthetic beauty, and water quality.
Encroachments include docks, marinas, piers, buoys, pilings, breakwaters, boat ramps, and other facilities used to support watercraft, as well as landfills, bridges, utility lines, float homes, boat garages, and other structures constructed on, in, or above the beds or waters of a navigable lake.
Following Executive Order 2020-01, Zero-Based Regulation this rule chapter is scheduled for a comprehensive review in 2025 with the goal of simplifying the rules for increase clarity and ease of use. IDL anticipates a high level of public interest in this rulemaking and recommends starting negotiations this spring in order to finish negotiations by the summer of 2025.
