Good Morning! I'm new to the Lake and I'm wondering about the folks who build the boat houses on the shore around here. I've seen a couple being built at public access sites and a couple of other spots around the lake and assumed that is allowed - obviously. Up here at the end of Brushy Creek, on the Eastern bank (on a really nice piece of point property), it appears a fabrication company has been established. They have a structure set up on shore where they are fabricating the dock components and they have two large, two story boat houses under construction in the water. When you come around the bend and are confronted with that scene, it really takes away from the beauty and quiet of that creek.
Does anyone know about regulations that the power company or Winston county might have concerning businesses along the shoreline? Noise and water pollution are certainly by-products of a full blown manufacturing facility. I think we'd all have a problem with manufacturing happening in our neighborhoods anywhere, but especially where we expect to have beauty and quiet. (And, I'm in the heavy manufacturing business, so nothing against us working folks! But, we do our business in an industrial park.) Sorry for the length of this question, but thanks for your thoughts on the subject . . .

Read your email. Question, do you think most boat docks might be cut, and then partially assembled prior to being delivered to a location where final assembly will be completed and then moved to a permanent anchor site near by? All dock manufacturers operating on smith lake are just like any other business, they must have the proper business license and must comply with all Alabama Power (APCO), inland marine, and environmental regulations. In order for a dock builder to assemble, or fabricate a new dock on smith lake, a permit application must be submitted to (APCO). The dock manufacturer must provide APCO with scaled drawings of the proposed dock indicating size, type and location of the floating structure. Construction can not commence until the structure is approved and a permit has been issued by APCO. A permit application fee of 250.00 is required as well.
If APCO enforcement officials locate a dock structure without a permit on file, enforcement action against the owner/dock builder of the dock structure will most likely occur.
