    Hi Holly Suchy,

    I was doing some reading in the Riverscapes Design manual and came across this paragraph on pg. 245, “Even if a permit is not required, let the regulator make that decision- In most jurisdictions, low-tech restoration will not trigger the need for a permit if it is in ephemeral streams or gullies. It is still good practice to notify, ask or apply with the regulatory agency, and let them make that determination.”

    I am betting that you already have your permitting questions answered, but thought I would share this just in case it was helpful.
