call me foolish but I would check with my local building inspectors and see where it goes from there.

In any even if yu damn up a stream people will complain.

Permit, rights or not people will bitch.

Papa...I would never call you foolish.
Dam exists now and has for many decades.
'Tis the heavy hand of provincial gov't attempting to tear it down.
Perhaps my damming rights are embedded in 'common law' under 'riparian rights'...but I am only guessing, I'm no legal beagle.

In the next life, I would like to study law. Problem with lawyers is...99% of them give the rest a bad name!
