Streambank or shoreline protection may include any of the following components: ATCP 50.88(2)(2) Eligible costs. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may reimburse any of the following costs related to streambank or shoreline protection: ATCP 50.88(2)(a)(a) Costs to install new soil bioengineering and structural treatments including rock riprap. Wood chunks, unsorted demolition material, brick, plaster, blacktop, and other materials that may produce leachates may not be used as riprap. A cost-share grant may reimburse costs for rock and timber riprap or lunkers used to establish fish habitat, in combination with the restoration of a riparian buffer and as part of a streambank or shoreline protection scheme, provided that reimbursement for fish habitat does not exceed 25% of the cost-share grant.
