Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
70 ILCS 1835/18
(70 ILCS 1835/18) (from Ch. 19, par. 718)
Sec. 18.
It is unlawful to make any fill or deposit of rock, earth, sand, or
other material, or any refuse matter of any kind or description, or build
or commence the building of any wharf, pier, dolphin, boom, weir,
breakwater, bulkhead, jetty, bridge, or other structure over, under or
within 40 feet of any navigable waters within the Port District without
first submitting the plans, profiles, and specifications therefor, and such
other data and information as may be required, to the Port District and
receiving a permit therefor; and any person, corporation, company, city or
municipality or other agency, which shall do any of the things above
prohibited, without securing a permit therefor as above provided, shall be
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. However, no such permit shall be required
in the case of any project for which a permit shall have been secured from
a proper governmental agency prior to the creation of the Port District nor
shall any such permit be required in the case of any project to be
undertaken by any city, village or incorporated town in the District, or
any combination thereof, for which a permit is required from a governmental
agency other than District before the municipality can proceed with such
project. In such event, the municipalities, or any of them, shall give at
least 10 days' notice to the District of the application for a permit for
any such project from a governmental agency other than the District so that
the District may be present and represent its position relative to such
application before such other governmental agency. Any structure, fill or
deposit erected or made in any of the public bodies of water within the
Port District, in violation of the provisions of this Section, is a
purpresture and may be abated as such at the expense of the person,
corporation, company, municipality or other agency responsible therefor, or
if in the discretion of the Port District, it is decided that such
structure, fill or deposit may remain, the Port District may fix such rule,
regulation, requirement, restrictions, or rentals or require and compel
such changes, modifications and repairs as shall be necessary to protect
the interest of the Port District.
