Deep Creek Lake Manager Carolyn Mathews recently announced the DNR’s intention to address a number of easement violations through court action. Most cases involve alleged illegal dumping or fill on the buydown parcel. The cases are a civil matter and action will be through circuit court.

Ms. Mathews reported that they are experiencing an increasing number of cases involving improper construction of drains, pipes and improvements that are prohibited by the DNR’s easement. The Office of the Attorney General will represent the DNR in court.

If you own lakefront real estate at Deep Creek Lake please note this may affect you. DNR does go around and makes period checks of the buffer strip and buydown parcel in between your house and the water. Any improvements or cutting on the buffer strip or buydown parcel need to be approved first by DNR. The conservation easement placed on the buydown parcel is very prohibitive and all DNR guidelines should be followed.
