Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 20. Permits. It shall be unlawful to make any fill or deposit of rock, earth, sand, or other material, or any refuse matter of any kind or description, or build or commence the building of any wharf, pier, dolphin, boom, weir, breakwater, bulkhead, jetty, bridge, or other structure over, under, in, or within 40 feet of any navigable waters within the District without first submitting the plans, profiles, and specifications for it, and any other data and information that may be required, to the District and receiving a permit. Any person, corporation, company, municipality, or other agency that does any of the things prohibited in this Section without securing a permit is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Any structure, fill, or deposit erected or made in any of the public bodies of water within the District in violation of the provisions of this Section is declared to be a purpresture and may be abated as such at the expense of the person, corporation, company, city, municipality, or other agency responsible for it. If in the discretion of the District it is decided that the structure, fill, or deposit may remain, the District may fix any rule, regulation, requirement, restrictions, or rentals or require and compel any changes, modifications, and repairs that shall be necessary to protect the interest of the District.
