I bought a 90 acre farm back in 2007. It had 12 acres of scrub bush timber on it. I had the County Soil Conservation look at and tell what I can do with it. 8 acres I can do as I please. Clear it and farm it if wanted. The other 4 acres are a wetland ,which I knew. I asked if I could dig a pond in the wetlands. If up to them yes but- this land has flood easement through the Corp of Engineers for the Coralville Reservoir. Which I knew. They said I would have to get permission from the Corps.
So a year ago I contacted the Corps and they sent a guy out. He gets my name, address, and phone number and did not go to look at the site. Said I would here back from them. In Jan. 2018 I get a 18 page form in the mail to fill out. Mailed it back in March after getting all the info and GPS location of the pond site. Form said it could be 6 months to here from them.
I call in Sept as I had not heard from them. The guy I talked to said you have to go through our department before you go through theirs. So they sent me a 10 page form to fill out for them and 2 copies had to be sent to the DNR of the same form.
I get a email last week from the first dept. I sent the form to saying that I have to go through the other dept. first. Yep I know now. Then I get an email from the DNR saying the pond is ok with them but. I would need a permit from my county before building.
I also get an email from 2nd dept. asking if I knew the pond would be in a flowage easement area. Yes I know it is a wetland and is in an flowage easement area of the Goverments.
Anyway this is all to dig a 1/2 acre pond in a swamp. Sounds like they will let me dig but no final permission was given yet.
