NOTICE TO BOATERS


Notice to Boaters
Railroad Creek
Baltimore County
 

The Department of Natural Resources has received a request to establish a Minimum wake zone or an Idle speed zone all year in the Railroad Creek area. No regulation currently exists.

The petitioner is requesting this action based on his belief that such a restriction is necessary to promote safety to protect swimmers, canoe/kayakers, wildlife, property and the environment.

The Department will conduct a survey and study of this area during the 2012 boating season. Interested parties are encouraged to provide comment on the requested regulatory change. Written comments will be accepted until September 7, 2012. You may enter comments on our website or send them directly to mgrant@dnr.state.md.us or they may be mailed to:
