Please help with my dock.

I was asked to build a dock on lake front property. Does the dock have
to float or can I build it like I would a deck? Please help. The dock
would run 20 out into the water and would be about 2 feet deep at it's
deepest point.

stop the nuclear race, start scrapping nuclear weapons, and arrange
normal relations between our countries," - Mikhail Gorbachev
