Army Corps of Engineers is not a private party wanting to do some new
development. Dredging the ICW is part of their REGULAR functions
whenever they have the resources to go and do it. There is no permitting
delay, as this is ongoing maintenance that is already cleared. In fact,
it's federally mandated work. The highway department similarly does not
need any permits to fill pot holes or replace damaged stop signs.

If I'm not mistaken, the Army Corps. is the agency that issues the permit.
