Work Permits
Works permits may provide authorization for short-term access, and improvements to or physical alterations of Canal real property.
What Work Permits Allow
Work permits may be issued to allow the installation, repair, and inspection of structures, such as, docks, utility lines, bridges, shorelines/embankments, and trail amenities. Other more passive examples of activities requiring work permits include, surveying, environmental studies and remediation, and access to Canal facilities for an extended period of time or outside our public navigation season. Work permits may also be issued for short-term activities or access that may not warrant an occupancy permit, such as events on Canal property or for contractor pre-bid inspections.
