I went did the same thing several years ago. In my case I just wanted to plow up some pasture to re-seed. The pasture is wetland and because of that you're not supposed to bring it into crop production if it hasn't been grandfathered in. This is a bit of a gray area in the law since my wetland pasture has been used for pasture and hay since before the cutoff date. Here's what I did:
1. Sent an email to the US Army Corps of Engineers contact for my area asking him if it was allowed.
2. He passed the buck to the Minnesota DNR giving me contact info. I emailed the MN DNR asking the same thing and CC'ing the Army guy.
3. He passed the buck to the Soil and Water Conservation District contact. I emailed him the same thing CC'ing the Army and DNR
4. SWCD requested an in-person meeting. Met with the SWCD guy at his office and he printed me out the same laws I was asking for clarification on. He gave them to me and said you can't plow within 30ft of the creek without a plan on file, and told me it was OK as long as the plowing didn't effect drainage, but wouldn't give me anything in writing.
I went ahead and did the re-seeding, although nobody would give me anything in writing telling me it was legal. I'm not in prison... yet.
