Army corp of engineers has jurisdiction. You will probably have to bury it
4 feet deep. They use jet plows for these underwater jobs.
You need armored cable. Normal FO cable will float.

Subject: [AFMUG] Underwater fiber
I am working on getting a link over a lake that is 12 miles wide. The lake
is only 8 feet deep (Utah Lake in Utah County Utah). I don't really have
the means to run Fiber at the bottom of this lake, but it made me curious
how someone would go about it? What kind of cable would be required, how
would it be permitted, is this a common practice, etc? I just wanted to get
people's thoughts on it.
Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
