Lake Norman Marine Commission
No Wake Buoy Regulations
|
The “No-Wake” Buoy Application Procedure is for the use of lake residents who live in narrow-coves, in areas with heavy traffic or who for other reasons believe that “No-Wake” Buoys would help boaters obey the North Carolina State Law requiring “No-Wake” speed when within 50 yards of boat docks or other structures. This Procedure provides a way to request permission from the LNMC to place “No-Wake” Buoy(s) 50 yards from their docks. These Applications are not for individuals but for Home Owners Associations, Marinas or groups of residents who have a serious problem with wakes in a given area of the lake.
If a “No-Wake” Buoy request is made to the LNMC, the LNMC Commissioner for the appropriate county will review the request and if merited, will ask Law Enforcement to review and comment. If the request is approved for review by the LNMC, the Applicants will be given an Application Form which must be filled out including the number of buoys requested and where they would be located. It will be the Applicants responsibility to have a contractor purchase and install the buoy(s) if the Application is approved by the LNMC at a regularly scheduled LNMC Meeting. An Application Fee of $150 must accompany all Applications.
