Cantilever:
Referring to a deck that extends over the lake or shoreline and is supported by a seawall or piers.
Commercial Dock:
Mooring facilities associated with a restaurant, marina, gas dock or similar use intended to produce revenue as a primary or accessory business.
Conveyance deed:
The deed a buyer receives from the seller when buying property (i.e., Warranty, Quit-Claim, or Special Warranty deed)
Dead load:
The weight of the entire dock structure, including all permanent attachments such as bumpers, dock boxes, winch stands, and roof structures.

Head of Cove:
That portion of any cove, regardless of size, which lies landward of a perpendicular line drawn across the cove, this line being known as the Head of Cove boundary line. The Head of Cove boundary line is located at the point at which the natural stream channel bottom (flooded by the lake water) is at the 652-foot elevation. If no natural stream channel can be identified, the perpendicular line will be located at the point farthest in to the cove where a 652-foot elevation is found.
Historic Property:
Any pre-historic or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria (36 CFR 800.16(l)(1)).
Horizontal and vertical slope:
This refers to the side of an excavated area. From the bottom of the excavation, the side must be sloped at 3 horizontal feet for each 1 foot vertical rise.
Lake mile:

Project lands:
All of the property rights acquired for the construction of Bagnell Dam and the Osage Project as licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. AmerenUE owns the majority of the shoreline property around the lake; however, the extent of this ownership varies. Carefully check ownership records for your property prior to any construction near the lake.

The bottom or lowest point of an eroded bank on the shoreline.
Waterspace:
The area occupied by the dock (including the area within the slips) walkway, boat lifts, breakwater, and any other structures.
Wave action:
The force of a wave against the exposed surfaces of the dock and boats. Expressed in pounds per square foot (psf), it is used to determine the size of the anchoring system.
Wetlands:
Areas that are periodically or permanently inundated by surface or ground water and support vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil. These areas are also referred to as swamps, marshes, and bogs.
Wind loads:
The force of wind against the exposed surfaces of the dock and boats. Expressed in pounds per square foot (psf), it is used to determine the size of the anchoring system.
