Frequently Asked Questions

Alabama marine projects typically require approvals from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District, and the local municipality or county. Projects on state-owned submerged lands also need authorization from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

A residential dock under a Corps general permit usually clears in 60 to 120 days. Projects requiring an individual permit, such as larger docks, marinas, dredging, or shoreline work in sensitive areas, generally take 6 to 12 months. We work with both ADEM and the Corps from the start to keep timelines as tight as possible.

Yes. Even small private docks in Baldwin County require Corps authorization, ADEM review, and local permitting. The city of Orange Beach and other municipalities have their own dock standards covering size, configuration, and lighting. We confirm all applicable requirements before submitting your application.

Nationwide Permits are streamlined Corps authorizations for activities with minimal environmental impact, including many residential docks, seawalls, and small dredging projects. Qualifying projects move through permitting much faster than those requiring an individual permit. We evaluate each project against current Nationwide Permit conditions during the initial review.

Yes. We provide a single point of contact for site review, design, biological surveys, permit applications, agency coordination, and construction. Handling permitting and building under one team keeps projects moving and avoids the handoff problems that often delay waterfront work in Alabama.
