To an extent yes. Typically Cataraqui Conservation protocol is to work with landowners to protect/repair their existing
shoreline. The intent is to limit the amount of fill that is being
placed within the regulatory floodplain and to minimize  drainage issue onto neighbouring properties.
Due to repeated high-water levels on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in recent years, land reclamation will be considered to a certain degree on a site-by-site basis as long as the landowner is able to clearly demonstrate and provide proof there has been recent loss of land. Permit approval is required for this type of activity.
