Need to know about lakeside environmental inspections? Here’s your event.
Thursday, February 22, 2024 by Beth Bond
If you have a project that’s subject to lakeside environmental requirements, the Development Services Department’s environmental inspections division has a brown-bag lunch-and-learn for that. Offering information on the unique regulations for construction on, under or next to the water in Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake and Lake Walter E. Long, the event is set for 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. March 7 at the Permitting and Development Center, 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive. Environmental compliance supervisor Amanda Wyrick will cover specifics for boat docks, stationary platforms, piers, shoreline access and more, focusing mainly on information that affects permit holders, but the event is open to all interested Austin residents. Wyrick’s presentation will be interactive with time for questions. Outside food and drinks are welcome, and light snacks will be provided. Register to attend here. For more details, contact DSDCommunications@austintexas.gov.
