# §2568.93. Is there a limit to how much water frontage my allotment can include?


Yes, in some cases. You will normally be limited to a half-mile (referred to as 160 rods in the regulations at [43 CFR part 2094](/cfr/43/part2094.md)) along the shore of a navigable water body. If you apply for land that extends more than a half-mile, BLM will treat your application as a request to waive this limitation. As explained in [43 CFR 2094.2](/cfr/43/2094.2.md), BLM can waive the half-mile limitation if it determines the land is not needed for a harborage, wharf, or boat landing area, and that a waiver would not harm the public interest.
