And you should see the red tape associated with dock repair.

We have an old, I mean really old (pre-1945) crib dock, and have had to make all sorts of applications for permits related to wetlands impact, etc. - just to repair some ice damage. Had to do the same about 15 years ago when we needed the top few timbers and decking replaced. I appreciate their vigilence, but it seems they should focus more energy toward keeping exotic species out of the lake (zebra mussels, milfoil, rock bass, snake heads...god forbid) and policing the lawn fertilization and septic system leakage. Far more damaging. Oh -- and I heard a lot of Canada Geese up on the Lake in early May. DO NOT let those things establish breeding pairs in the region -- the lake will be useless in no time.

Just my $.02...
