I spent two years fighting the state DEQ, township, and county getting the right permits for my hole. Still not done yet as I dont have all the grass planted around the pond so I can get my final approval and be done with them.

You will probably want to shoot yourself 3-4 times through the process, but in 10 years when you are enjoying your pond it will be worth it. It makes you understand why government workers go "postal"
