Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg Counties Proposed Regulations and Public Comments

15A NCAC 10F .0307 – Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg Counties

Reason for Proposed Action:

Wildlife Resources Commission staff were notified last fall of safety concerns and enforcement challenges surrounding vessel liveries on Lake Norman. Lack of regulations codified in Rule has made it difficult to enact and enforce regulations on vessel liveries, leading to lack of action against liveries and increased safety concerns among lake users. A temporary rule was adopted to address concerns during the boating season. 
Permanently codifying vessel livery safety requirements in Rule will clarify standards for livery companies, facilitate and streamline enforcement activities, and improve public safety. The proposed changes are identical to the temporary rule currently in effect.
