Coastal rules do not apply in Peoria County. This is landlocked central Illinois with no ocean coast. Work near water here is governed by inland floodway permits and drainage-district law.
There is no ocean or Great Lakes shoreline in Peoria County, so no coastal-development permit or shoreline setback exists. The waters that matter are inland: the Illinois River, a federally regulated navigable channel carrying barge traffic past the Peoria riverfront, plus Kickapoo Creek and the tile drains and ditches crossing the farmland. Building near these is governed by the Illinois DNR Office of Water Resources floodway permit under the Rivers, Lakes, and Streams Act, the Illinois Drainage Code where a drainage district or regulated drain is involved, and the ILR10 stormwater permit. Work in the river channel itself also needs an Army Corps permit, not any coastal statute.
No coastal permit exists to violate. Work in a floodway without an IDNR Office of Water Resources permit, or altering a drainage-district drain without consent, carries its own penalties and removal orders.
