My property is already zoned agricultural. The answer is still NO. The Corps said I could use a trough for my cattle. (If I had any) And my 22 acre planted pine forest does not qualify as agriculture.
If I hadn't asked permission, I would now have a big, beautiful pond. Now all I have is a muddy mess where I cleared.
I have hired a high-dollar engineering firm with hopes that they will "impress" the Corps. The head engineer that is doing my project is wanting to build a pond of his own, so he is pretty motivated to make mine happen. We'll see.
A friend of mine has bought some property, built his lake, and it is almost full while I have been #%@&ing around with the Corps. He was smart enough to not ask permission.
