You'd probably be able to get a permit since you effectively have a perched beach in place. Another nice alternative is to do the whole area over in pavers. Again, you would need a permit.
The problem with the state of NH permit process is that is extremely cumbersome and time consuming. As a result, folks just do what they want as suggested above. The state should do two things to make the process work: 1) outsource the permitting process to a private company to eliminate the extreme bureaucracy in the system 2) Impose huge fines for anyone violating the system. If this happened we would all be better off.
