Thanks, that's one of the numbers I called (for Area 1, since I live in Forsyth County). I called Friday around 2:30pm, a lady put me through to whoever she thought I needed, but it went to voicemail. I left a message, and as of today (Monday) at 3:15pm, I have not heard anything. I might just drive around and talk to some pond owners in the area and see what they did. From everything I've read, if the pond isn't going to affect a stream, public water, or wetland.... and if the dam is less than 25' tall and won't affect anyone's property if it were to fail, I don't need a permit. Someone else posted on here from NC, and said that if its less than an acre, you don't need a permit either (but that was a post from 2014).
