Beltrami County revising shoreland policy

BEMIDJI—Outdated language and confusing wording are being replaced with clearer provisions in a new draft of Beltrami County's shoreland ordinance.

In Minnesota, shoreland along lakes and rivers is managed by township, city and county governments through ordinances that regulate standards created by the Department of Natural Resources. According to the DNR, the land that falls under the ordinance is determined by its proximity to the lake's ordinary high water level.
