Just had APCo out to our house to approve my winter shoreline project list of:

- Rebuilding main pier and demolishing the 25+ year old one
- Removing railroad tracks from boat house and replacing with poured concrete ramps
- Re-stacking my rip rap wall and add rip rap as needed.
- Extending boat ramp
- Cleaning up all the debris that has not been visible in the past 20 years or so from the shoreline

But I was amazed when I asked if they had been extraordinarily busy this year with Shoreline permit requests and they state no not really. Am I the only fool out there paying the $250 permit fee and obtaining approval - LOL.

Just curious how others are taking advantage of these historically low water levels in terms of shoreline projects.

I had them out about two months ago. I am rebuilding my seawall, extending a dock, redoing boathouse rails and rebuilding a man made island. And burning a lot of cra p and old wood.

I did not have to pay anything, I told them that it as all rebuilding and if I had to pay I was not going to do any of it.

They wanted me to do it worse than I wanted to do it, so they didn't charge becaue it was all rebuild and cleanup

I am getting ready to submit an application to do some boat ramp repairs, extend the roof on my boathouse and put in two jet ski floats. I wonder if the lack of projects stems from general pessimism on water levels. I need 483 to get in and out of our slough and for now will be an optimist. I used to be a pessimist because I just didn't think things would work out for me as an optimist. Then I heard optimists live longer and are generally happier so I thought I would give it a try......

I would never call you a fool, but YES, or at least I hope so.

I am having my little part of my cove dredged. I have been approved and waiting for about a month and half now. Someone must be doing something, or at least the company I contracted with is busy. I thought It would be difficult to get permission to dredge but it was actually easier that getting permission to build a seawall a few years back.

No, you're not the only one. I paid the 250 and the water is 1/4 mile from my pier...
