BLM takes a year or two and some money for the NEPA stuff. The rest of them just take asking. Sometimes you have to have a bond, but those are not terribly expensive. Just ask for an excavation permit. Here that app is online.

I figured it was costly and full of constand bureaucratic nonsense. Its what stopped me over the years from even considering spending much time looking into underground for my employer to self build or for me to do stuff. Its only been in this last year I started dealing with it and realizing its not that big of a deal, especially in podunk illinois. It really depends on how personable you can be with the commissioners and in small areas without state mother may Is, its not a bribe if nobody knows where he got whatever it is he likes On Thu, Feb 10, 2022 at 2:33 PM Chuck McCown via AF <[email protected]> wrote: 1) Go to the city, county or DOT and get a permit. Cheap and easy. I do it all the time. Many times there are PUEs that you don’t need to even ask before you bury. I get private easements all the time for the price of a stamp and recording. Did 3 yesterday. 2) Graybar, Codale, Millenium, Ebay. Roll it, they will load it into the back of your truck. You can build a cheap saw horse based reel holder. 3) If you are a wisp or know a wisp you can get bandwidth. 4) You cut the sod, fold it over, trench, backfill and fold the sod back. Or go to HD and buy seed. 5) 1/2” steel water pipe, garden hose on one end. Dig a start hole. Turn on water. Start working the pipe under. Helps if you have a nozzle on the end. Or spend a few dollars for a missile.

How are you getting a spool of fiber? How are you moving it? You need bandwidth, how low can you possibly get that per month? If you're using a trencher, where are you getting the seed to fix the damage? How are you getting under a driveway?

Im just looking for the numbers, not for funding. I'm curious how much has been dispersed in the last decade, how much is pending dispersal, how much is pending allocation and how much is pending legislation.
