Hi all-
I'm new (obviously). I've kept fish, snails, and aquatic plants for about five years now and have always wanted to get into the pond side of things.
One thing I can't find the answer to, however, is do you need a permit? I know this varies from place to place (I'm in Seattle, if that helps). I don't know what agency even governs such things so I'm not sure who to contact about it. I've heard various places that some ponds need to be fenced, some need a permit if they're over a certain number of gallons, if you need to run a new electrical line to them, etc. Does anybody know where I can find this information?
Thank you in advance!
Gretchen
