That is good to hear. I am closing on some property soon in Grimes county, and have the same thing going on. I was originally going to enlarge the pond that is not in the flood plain, but now I am thinking of putting the pond in the floodway so I don't take up and "good" non flood plain real estate. I was wondering this exact thing about permitting if I messed with the flood plain area. Sounds like I should be just fine.
