00:09.949 --> 00:11.949
Welcome to the beautiful shorelines

00:11.949 --> 00:13.727
managed by the US Army Corps of

00:13.727 --> 00:16.469
Engineers , Fort Worth District . Our

00:16.469 --> 00:18.469
mission is to balance environmental

00:18.469 --> 00:20.525
stewardship , protection of cultural

00:20.525 --> 00:22.302
resources , and your desire for

00:22.302 --> 00:24.280
recreation . Development along the

00:24.280 --> 00:26.209
shoreline can pose significant

00:26.209 --> 00:28.329
environmental challenges . That's why

00:28.329 --> 00:30.496
we have rules to ensure that federally

00:30.496 --> 00:32.551
managed shorelines are preserved for

00:32.551 --> 00:35.169
future generations . Unless a dock or

00:35.169 --> 00:37.391
boathouse is grandfathered in under the

00:37.391 --> 00:39.280
shoreline management plan with an

00:39.280 --> 00:41.447
active permit , constructing new docks

00:41.447 --> 00:43.729
or boat houses is strictly prohibited .

00:44.610 --> 00:46.554
Non-compliance can lead to serious

00:46.554 --> 00:48.919
consequences , including citations ,

00:49.209 --> 00:51.970
impoundment or removal of unauthorized

00:51.970 --> 00:54.889
structures . Refer to Title 36 , Part

00:54.889 --> 00:57.849
327 of federal regulations for more

00:57.849 --> 01:00.380
details . Anyone with existing

01:00.380 --> 01:02.700
grandfathered docks or boat houses , it

01:02.700 --> 01:05.059
is crucial that you ensure there is

01:05.059 --> 01:07.115
nothing in direct conflict with your

01:07.115 --> 01:10.160
permit to avoid losing it . The

01:10.160 --> 01:11.938
shoreline is vital to sensitive

01:11.938 --> 01:14.049
wildlife habitats . While landscaping

01:14.049 --> 01:15.959
may seem beneficial , it can harm

01:15.959 --> 01:18.930
wildlife and increase erosion . Without

01:18.930 --> 01:21.330
permission , you cannot mow , clear

01:21.330 --> 01:23.849
vegetation , or add structures . Let's

01:23.849 --> 01:26.330
keep the shoreline thriving . Remember ,

01:26.489 --> 01:28.211
the shoreline is public land .

01:28.220 --> 01:30.209
Federally managed areas should not

01:30.209 --> 01:32.320
appear as private property . Monument

01:32.320 --> 01:35.010
markers identify boundaries . Personal

01:35.010 --> 01:37.232
items must be removed from federal land

01:37.232 --> 01:39.454
after use . If you have any questions ,

01:39.454 --> 01:41.510
our natural resource specialists are

01:41.510 --> 01:43.288
here to help . Contact them for

01:43.288 --> 01:43.489
