Does Army Corp of Engineers have jurisdiction on any body of water or
just that one? I was recently talking to someone about HD Boring under
a river. He ended going through an existing conduit on a bridge
instead, but he seemed to think going under the river wouldn't be a big
deal.
.....that was obviously not 12 miles wide. More like 1200'.

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.

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,
