Can you offer more details on the refilling.

if its family owned then i would backfill before the sale to avoid any issues. as for what and how, just go with the nearest local resources and materials opportunities for that

my uncle had land that got rezoned after water erosion. over about 30 years he lost 500ft of land about a mile long along the shore. he added about 12 ft of rocks to the waters edge to prevent further erosion and the core of engineers and some environmental agency sent him a letter threatening him with steep fines and jail time for environmentally damaging the wetlands he was forced to dig it all up, under their supervision, and he still got a 6 figure fine for his troubles.

as long as its all still on the records as being land, and not listed as marsh or wetlands, then you can fix it on the down low yourself.

just be aware, there are agencies that have nothing better to do then stop you from protecting or repairing your land if there is water on it
