Here it is Lee, as best as I can tell, unless it is a privately owned impoundment, you will likely need a permit to create, build, or erect any structure reguardless of it's composition, be it natural,synthetic, or a combination of either in any public waters . However there are exceptions to this rule. Your first step would be to find your Regional Biologist that works on Artical 15 applications, which you can find at www.dec.state.ny.us/HSOforum/about/abtrull3.html or you can send a letter to: NYSDEC, Bureau of habitat. 625 Broadway Albany NY 12233-4756 or E-mail: [email protected] and then they will help you through the application process. It sounds more complicated than it really is ,but I'm sure you can understand you don't want people damming creeks or building rock piles that will be closer to the surface than the lower unit on your outboard. I hope this is of some help to you.
