To prevent encroachment upon, or constriction of, river or creek channels, and thereby avoid obstruction to the natural conveyance of water flow in such rivers, creeks, and other natural watercourses, there shall not be placed, erected, or located within the banks of such watercourses any building or structure, pier or marina, or retaining or revetment wall--except authorized bridges or dams. In addition, there shall not be placed any filling of earth, ashes, rubbish, rubble, concrete, masonry, or any other kinds of fill.
However, this provision may be waived if the structure or fill is approved by the Wintersville Planning Commission, the Legislative Body, the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and other applicable public bodies.
