How do you "own a stream"? If the stream starts snd or ends off your property do you own the part of the stream that cuts through your property? I thought riparian rights allowed others to use the stream as long as they didn't come on your property.
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson
The beavers keep adding to the damn at Mudge Pond, raising the level of the lake. With the almost flat ramp, to get all but the tiniest, most lightweight craft off a trailer you have to back to the drop. And with the water a foot or 18" higher than normal, you're in the water up to the rocker panels with the truck before the boat will come off.
Unless they want to dredge the ramo, the state's got to get rid of the beavers.

OK....if you own both sides of the stream.
If the dam is on someone else's property and it's flooding your home they may be responsible for damage. I'm not a lawyer so you'd need to check on that. You could also check with you local inland wetlands commission for assistance.
