Section 7:7-12.12 - Mooring

(a) A boat mooring is a temporary or permanently fixed or floating anchored facility in a water body for the purpose of attaching a boat.

(b) Temporary or permanent boat mooring areas are conditionally acceptable provided:

1. There is a demonstrated need that cannot be satisfied by existing facilities;

2. Adverse environmental impacts are minimized to the maximum extent practicable; and

3. The mooring area is adequately marked and is located so as not to hinder navigation. A hazard to navigation will apply to all potential impediments to navigation, including access to adjacent moorings, water areas, docks and piers.

(c) Rationale: Moorings are conditionally acceptable in all General Water Areas provided impacts to Special Water Areas are minimized and they are not a hazard to navigation.
