Hello Mike,
The Following are the Transport Canada guidelines for the construction of Private Docks under Minor Works. Referral's from the Integrated Land Management Bureau, regarding the construction of Private Dock's, Must Follow the Minor Works Order Guidelines for a Dock. If your Dock proposal's meet these guidelines for a minor work, then you will NOT need to submit an application to Transport Canada for approval.
As this application meets with all the Navigable Waters Safety Program criteria, as indicated in your response below, there is No Need for you to submit an application to Transport Canada for approval.
