Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations ACoE permit not mentioned in pond building article

Dudley,
You'll notice that Big Pond and I are both in the same ACoE district. It's a toss up between us who dislikes them the most. I started off by being "nice", after all, I wanted something from them. I get the impression BP is a fairly nice guy too.

Jersey, I wasn't implying that you, Big Pond or anyone else who has business with the ACOE weren't nice people. Using myself and my previous posts as a good example, we sometimes don't handle circumstances as diplomatically as we perhaps should when we become anxious and frustrated when things aren't progressing as we believe they should be.

No offense taken, Dudley. I just don't want anyone to think that either BP or I stormed into the ACoE office with any kind of attitude or animosity. In my case, I just called them to ask which form I should fill out for a pond, and was told not to bother because it would be denied. They didn't know me, where my property is, how big of a pond I wanted to build, what the purpose of the pond was, or whether it was to be creek-fed or just a low spot on the ground. Things went downhill from there.
