Rex,
In the course of dealing with all the agencies you listed, did you have to fork over any $$$$$ for the permits. What would happen if you did not plant grass around the pond?? Would you be fined or forced to drain the pond?? Just curious. Never had to deal with this for my permit from the state.

I paid $100 to the state DEQ so they could tell me where to put my pond
I paid $160 to the county so they could make me plant grass on the pond banks (cant have soil erosion)
I paid $500 to the township so they can make sure the pond is not too steep and who knows what else. They also would not let me sell any of my sand. I do get part of the $500 back, depending on how many inspections the township has to make.
The reason I had to get so many permits is because my pond is in a 100 year floodplain, otherwise I could have skipped the DEQ
