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 1845/14) (from Ch. 19, par. 364)
Sec. 14.
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; provided, however, that 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 the District before the municipality can
proceed with such project. And in such event, such 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.
