Thanks, I went thru a engineer, CTDEP required both an upland survey and a site survey showing depths and vegetation, etc. I suppose a diligent individual could sub out everything and get it done, but it would have driven me over the edge! I recommend the engineer but remember to stay very hands on because it is your dock.
I went thru, the Ct DEP, Army corp of engineers, Ct fisheries, the local inland wetlands and the local building dept., it also went to public notice so any objections from John Q. Public had to be addressed. like I sez....I`m happy it`s done.
