Enforcement and penalties.
(1) 
Enforcement. Long Pond is a Great Pond owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. These regulations are intended to supplement the state regulations and are additional to the restrictions on distance and headway speed in 323 CMR Division of Law Enforcement, Section 2.07.(1) and (3). The Towns of Brewster and Harwich hold common jurisdiction for law enforcement purposes, and Long Pond is patrolled by police of both towns.
(2) 
Penalties. Operators and/or owners who violate these regulations shall be fined as follows:
(a) 
First offense: $50.
(b) 
Second offense: $100.
(c) 
Third and subsequent offenses: $200.
D. 
To assist in enforcement and designate the areas for boaters, swimmers and law enforcement personnel, marker buoys are to be placed in appropriate locations around the perimeter of Long Pond, designating the one-hundred-fifty-foot distance from shore and the three-hundred-foot distance from public bathing beaches required by the commonwealth. Each town (Brewster and Harwich) is to provide the marker buoys for its shoreline, and they are to be placed under the joint direction of the Police Chiefs of the two towns and the Division of Marine Law Enforcement. The area shoreward of these markers is designated "Headway Speed Zone," and these marker buoys should so indicate.
