Church Creek Dredging
Anne Arundel County, MD

If you are interested in a spur channel, providing proof of historic dredging, use and previous water depths is necessary. If you have previous Federal and State approvals for dredging or pier or bulkhead work, please provide copies of any licenses, permits or paperwork you have. These types of old documents will greatly assist in the facilitation of your new application. If you have never completed a spur permit application with BayLand, please fill out as much information as possible on the sheets provided at the link above and send them by email or by mail to our office. Historical proof of previous dredging, or boating activity at your property are useful in facilitating new permits. 

Spur applicants are responsible for preparing the Joint Permit Application (JPA). An electronic permit application and other relevant documents can be downloaded from the above link. BayLand staff will assist you with completing the application via email or telephone. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) requires a $750 State permit application fee with each application and a check made payable to MDE is required with your application. There is no cost to homeowners for the preparation of the application.
If you cannot attend the virtual meeting and are interested in information about dredging, please contact us as soon as possible so we can make arrangements to assist you with preparing your application. All applications must be complete by December 15, 2023 to ensure timely submittal.
