Private Dams - Understanding the Permitting Process
In the last couple of years, we’ve seen an uptick in new private dams in the Hill Country. These new dams have raised questions from downstream landowners about the process for permitting new dams, and what to do if you discover an unauthorized dam. In this October 2024 webinar, we cover the complex world of dam permitting with the agencies that regulate dams.
