Idaho Admin. Code r. 20.03.04.055 - LEASES AND EASEMENTS

01. Lease or Easement Required. As a condition of the encroachment permit, the Department may require a submerged land lease or easement for use of any part of the state-owned bed of the lake where such lease or easement is required in accordance with "Rules Governing Leases on State-owned Submerged Lands and Formerly Submerged Lands," IDAPA 20.03.17, or "Rules For Easements On State-owned Submerged Lands And Formerly Submerged Lands," IDAPA 20.03.09. A lease or easement may be required for uses including, but not limited to, commercial uses. Construction of an encroachment authorized by permit without first obtaining the required lease or easement constitutes a trespass upon state-owned public trust lands. This rule is intended to grant the state recompense for the use of the state-owned bed of a navigable lake where reasonable and it is not intended that the Department withhold or refuse to grant such lease or easement if in all other respects the proposed encroachment would be permitted.

02. Seawalls, Breakwaters, Quays. Seawalls, breakwaters, and quays on or over state-owned beds, designed primarily to create additional land surface, will be authorized, if at all, by an encroachment permit and submerged land lease or easement, upon determination by the Department to be an appropriate use of submerged lands.
