Summary

Levee repair and agency wetland coordination. Provides that immediate action may be taken for the maintenance, alteration, repair, reconstruction, change in construction or location, or removal of a dike, floodwall, levee, or appurtenance if, in the opinion of the department of natural resources (DNR), immediate action is necessary due to the danger to human life or property. (Under current law, danger to property alone is not sufficient cause for immediate action.) Provides that if, in the opinion of the DNR, immediate action is necessary, the DNR may: (1) undertake the action by itself or through a contractor engaged by the DNR; or (2) authorize the owner of the property on which the dike, floodwall, levee, or appurtenance is located to undertake the action. Requires the DNR and the department of environmental management to issue a report on the process to improve efficiency, coordination, and transparency in programs for water quality certifications, permits for wetland activity, and permits for construction and excavation in floodways.
