Actions Taken on Proposed Changes In 2004

---

The Secretary of Natural Resources approved the following actions:

• Bear Creek - The Department does not recommend changing this area to an all time speed limit. However, responsible for your wake signs should be placed at each end of the yacht club.
• Goose Harbor - The Department will not implement a speed regulation but the NRP will increase patrols concentrating on PWC distance violations.
• Deep Creek Lake - Glendale and Rt 219 Bridges -: The Department will enact a regulation requiring all vessels to go through the Rt 219 and Glendale Bridge on the right half of the bridge. The Department should install signs on each bridge that indicate, “Keep Right” to facilitate the direction of travel.

• Mill Creek (Anne Arundel County in Whitehall Bay) - The Committee approved a 6 knot Saturday, Sunday, and holiday speed limit for the entrance channel to Mill Creek. The area will begin at daymarker #2M and end at #10M. 

• Pocomoke River at Shad Landing - The Department recommends an all time speed limit in the dock and ramp area to the mouth of the creek at the Pocomoke River. The Department also recommends a minimum wake zone for all of Corker’s Creek. 

• Pocomoke River at Pocomoke City - The Department does not recommend a speed limit change for this area.

• Tred Avon River at Oxford - The Committee approved a 6-knot all time speed limit during the boating season (April 15 to Oct 15) from the navigation marker #2 to the entrance marker #4 to Town Creek. This area is from these markers shoreward toward Oxford.  The Committee would also review this area again after the regulation was in effect for one year.

• Selby Bay - The Committee recommends no change in the existing regulations.

• Ramsey Lake - The Department recommends no change for this area.
