Would airlifting be considered dredging? Is there cases where you would need a permit?

Just My curiousity

In many parts of Canada a permit may be required in fish/etc. reproduction waters, and stream/river areas where bottom profile alteration permission has to be applied for. Some areas where long term dumping has been perscripted (buried) and authorities don't want bottom disturbed cause it releases s*** from the bottom with mechanical disturbance.
Makes sense
After the piles are gone, I'm going to have to airlift all of the mud that is around the old railway tracks in order to rebuild them for a new cradle. The owner will likely have to find another diver for like a month or two when we get to all of that.
Hey Flynn,
I'm in Boston. I took a few pics above water....I'm really considering investing in an underwater camera. Up here on Boston harbor....everybody is in everybodies business. I will get more pics up as soon as I can.
Very good point....It's not too easy to get away with anything around here either. Coast Gaurd Boston is right across the way, and the LNG tankers come right by us with all of their escorts including a helicopter. The owner of the shipyard is pretty budget minded, but it wouldn't be nice to pay a bunch of fines.....maybe I should remind him.
Put it in writing dated an initialed at least email it better yet mail it so he has to sign it if at all possible a lot cheaper that way and you will help insure you receiving your final pay off for the work your doing for them. Big fines don't make for business friends Denial and Amnesia are very common when it comes to money better its his money than yours my friend. Dive on Brother.
Randy have you undertaken this job on a handshake or as a contractor? If on a handshake- mention at the outset by way of a written note, your bureaucratic permits concern, along with a brief summary/scope of work and responsiblity (& keep a copy for your files)----if written , thats another thang. If handshake it doesn't hurt for you to have something outlining the fact of contract and scope of work, and if necessary written change orders . The best way to do these jobs, for me, is as a sub-contractor (on a work/purchase order)from the 'owner' therein limiting, but not officially obviating my obligation to bureaucratic institutions, bonding, insurance, taxes, etc., escpecially if the billing is limited in $$$$ per billing period/progress payment. Hope it helps-
Hey Bill,
I guess you can call me a contractor. I give him an hourly invoice everyother week. I keep my mouth shut about a lot of things because he allows me to do a lot of other stuff on the shipyard....in other words, I'm always working.:)
Thanks Dale. Good advice
