SUMMARY

 
This bill provides for a limit of 200 feet from shore for
the placement of a mooring on Sebago Lake and allows the
placement of a mooring up to 600 feet from shore in a cove or
mouth of a cove in Sebago Lake. A mooring placed beyond the
200-foot limit may require an extra fee, which will be used
for harbor master expenses, and must be illuminated from dusk
to dawn during boating season. Moorings may not be placed in
front of the property of an adjoining property owner and must
be removed by the same date that the harbor master requires
the removal of boats from the lake. This bill does not apply
to those portions of Sebago Lake under the jurisdiction of the
Portland Water District.
