[WSBARP] River Removal Rights

[Haines, Taylor (Perkins Coie)]

Listserv members,

A client owns a home adjacent to a river.  The river bank has eroded enough by natural causes that the home fell into the river.  We are wondering who has the right to require removal of the home and/or bring claims for hazardous materials entering the river (e.g., asbestos, lead, etc. from the home).

We're assuming it is the state, but let us know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Taylor
