I'm surprised at all the talk about permits. I acually thought it was a non-issue. I called the township they said they did'nt have a policy. So I called the county the referred me to the DEQ. I explained to the DEQ what I wanted to do and that I had A low land cattail area. He looked it up on his computer and looked for near by rivers and lakes and the size of my low area. Which is less than an acre. Then he stated that it would'nt be a problem I don't need a permit. I have nothing in writing. I have his name and number and the date I spoke to him. I almost hate to call him back after everything I've heard here. I guess I should ask for something in writing.
