The Old Lyme Harbormaster, Marine Patrol, and
police shall have authority to control waterborne traffic as specified
in C.G.S. § 15-154 and other applicable state statutes and
regulations. (For further information, see C.G.S. §§ 15-127
through 15-157.)
A.
In accordance with C.G.S. § 15-140m, no
boat shall be operated in a manner which could endanger persons or
property in Old Lyme waters. In accordance with Department of Environmental
Protection Regulation 15-121-B14, no boat shall be operated at a speed
to exceed six miles per hour within 100 feet of shore, or a dock,
pier, float or anchored or moored vessels, launching areas, marinas,
or other congested areas unless taking off or landing a water-skier.
Consequently, except for certain sections of the Connecticut River,
speeds greater than six miles per hour are prohibited in streams,
rivers and estuaries of Old Lyme waters.
[Amended 12-14-1998]
B.
In addition, steerage speed is the maximum allowed
in many areas of the Connecticut River. A current issue of the Connecticut
Boaters Guide identifies those areas.
