It is done all the time, but if an indian tribe is involved there are.... complications.....
I don’t think Utah Lake would be an issue. I had a permit for the Great Salt Lake at onetime but we didn’t build it.

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'. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 4/27/2017 5:22:31 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Underwater fiber 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. -----Original Message----- From: Brett A Mansfield Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2017 3:07 PM To: [email protected] 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
