In case there isn't... can anyone tell me what the laws are regarding possible dredging... I really need about one foot of clearance to enjoy boating for the whole season.....

I think you'd have much better luck trying to get a permit to extend your dock. Don't think DES will be to impressed with a request to dredge. Then again if you have enough $$ and know the right people anything I suppose is possible.
