(2) Issuance; validity.
(a) The department may issue a general permit to a person wishing to proceed with an activity. A permit issued under this subsection is in lieu of any permit or approval that would otherwise be required for that activity under this chapter or s. 31.02, 31.12, 31.33, 281.15, or 281.36.

(c) To ensure that the cumulative adverse environmental impact of the activities authorized by a general permit is insignificant and that the issuance of the general permit will not injure public rights or interests, cause environmental pollution, as defined in s. 299.01 (4), or result in material injury to the rights of any riparian owner, the department may impose any of the following conditions on the permit:
1. Construction and design requirements that are consistent with the purpose of the activity authorized under the permit.
2. Location requirements that ensure that the activity will not materially interfere with navigation or have an adverse impact on the riparian property rights of adjacent riparian owners.
3. Restrictions to protect areas of special natural resource interest.
