I don't know why the Department "ever-started" with that kind of justification: I think you may have been "fibbed" to.

A weak dock will save a boat from damage, a strong dock could create a boating hazard . You could allow them a choice of presently "allowed-strength" or the option of "Industrial-strength".

"Industrial-strength" would have to be built like a brick...um...outhouse, and cost a zillion dollars. Then disallow any request for "Industrial-strength", 'cause they're fibbing to you about their requirements.

JMHO.
