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.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
