How is this not a violation of the provision of the US CONSTITUTION (5th amendment) saying,

"Private property shall not be taken for public use, without just compensation"?

Converting private property to public use requires just compensation.
Its 100% your job to maintain your land ... by installing bulkheads etc.
Everyone with camps on the water at Big Lake has bulk head for a reason so that they do not lose land to the wind , waves and water .....

You buy land its yours to maintain period .
