Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Proposed HB 383 Ammending Shoreland Protection Act

ApS · 10-05-2007, 05:42 AM

Sometimes, permits are posted at the sites: in neither case did this occur.

A friend advised me that the pair of 50-footer docks nearest his place had hired an attorney who complained of shallow water there—but the depth there is no different than the depth at his place!

It seems that if you intend to put a "Really Big Boat" there, you can get any dock length you want....

The other site (the triple nearest me) has plenty of depth, but the new construction's runoff of soil may require another ten feet to be added to each dock next year.

Come to think of it, runoff just before 2007's Ice-Out pushed soil, clay, gravel and rocks 250 feet down a driveway, around (and through!) a cellar, under the first "silt fence", and managed to cover the first eighteen feet of the old dock!

Have I mentioned that I'm in favor of the new Shoreland Protection Act?
