These are state rules and our home on Newfound had the exact same issue.

Guidelines today are helping improve all the lakes and water quality.

The biggest issues with water quality were caused from many decades ago, not from boats, septics or homes. But from farms (using DDT) and oiling the roads (with PCBs). But build up of homes and roads near the shores are contributing to allowing these contamination to enter the lakes through runoff. Removing the buffers.

One other issue today is every time you drop anchor and pull it up, you stir up PCB’s settled in the bottom.
