Thanks for the info., guys.
Jersey, I am in Ware county. The county won't issue a permit until I have the wetlands think checked. I have a friend that works for the Corps but I am still undecided about involving him. I know he will be on my side, but he still has a job to do and the restrictions seem pretty serious. I talked to him over the phone and he basically said he could get me a permit for 1/10 of an acre within the wetland area....not much of a pond in my book. The area is not confirmed wetlands, but probably will be as soon as the Corps gets involved. I am leaning towards just digging. Ask for forgiveness instead of permission kind of thing...I don't know. Do people get in trouble for this thing often? I am not trying to build a housing development here...just dig a small fishing hole.
