Getting Started

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requires Duke Energy to implement a Shoreline Management Plan that defines what and where specific activities are allowed along the shoreline. Permits are required for all activities within the boundaries of Duke Energy's lake property. Sweetwater Marine will monitor your permit status which can take up to 45 days for approval.

Acquire Land Survey of Property

Contact your local surveying company to acquire a stamped survey copy of your property. This is required to submit the Lake Permit Application.

Contact Us

Call Sweetwater Marine to review your Lake Permit Application & User Agreement before submitting to Duke Lake Services in order to determine if a building permit is required.

The design of your dock can greatly impact the longevity of the structure and its usability.
While designing your dock, reference Duke Energy's Dock Design Considerations for additional recommendations.
Also consider the following requirements:

  • The dock surface must not be more than 1,000 sqft over the water.

  • The edge of the dock cannot be within 10 ft of the property line.
