(b)

The POD may issue a permit authorizing all or any of the dredging operations prohibited by subsection (a) of this section when it is necessary to prevent damage to property or in other cases when, after investigation, it is determined that because of the location of the dredging operations, the distance to occupied residences and the manner and method of operation proposed, the operation will not constitute a nuisance to residents in the vicinity.
