It depends on what is meant by “clean-up” the shoreline. Regulatory restricts apply for vegetation removal in certain areas (wetland habitat) and placement of fill within the regulatory floodplain and the
bed of the lake. You should always consult with the conservation authority regarding any work in the water and general vicinity of the shoreline. Depending on location, natural features and the extent/type of work, approval may be required, and restricts may apply. You may also require approval from other applicable agencies such as the Ministry of Natural Resource and Forestry and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
