(A) Every person owning property through which a watercourse passes, or such person’s lessee, shall keep and maintain that part of the watercourse located within his or her property boundaries free of trash, debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstacles that would pollute, contaminate, or significantly retard the flow of water through the watercourse.
(B) In addition, the owner or lessee shall maintain existing privately-owned structures or farm debris within, or adjacent to, a watercourse and/or regulated drain easements, so that such structures, or farm debris, will not become a hazard to the use, function, or the physical integrity of the watercourse.
