THE BUOY PROGRAM
Background
Regulations
BACKGROUND
Historically, the H.L.P.A. obtained
a permit to place NO-WAKE Marker Buoys around the perimeter
of Harvey’s Lake to create safe areas for swimming,
kayaking, and other water sports enjoyed by our residents.
The buoys are placed 100 feet from the
shoreline or structure, no closer than 50 feet apart.
The association purchased the buoys from a manufacturer on
behalf of the residents who requested to lease them. Buoys should be placed in the lake
prior to May 31st and removed from the lake by
October 15th each year.
This year the HLPA permit #206
renewal was disapproved by the PA Fish and
Boat Commission and is no longer valid. Any floating
structures or aids to navigation currently installed under
permit #206, which expired on December 31, 2011, are to be
removed no later than September 4, 2014.
. It is extremely important for members to
understand that they will be fined if they do not obtain
their own permit for their buoy.
Future applications for floating
structures or aids to navigation will only be processed if
received from individual property owners. To obtain an
application see the link below.
REGULATIONS
The regulations applicable to private
aids to navigation and floating structures are found in
Chapter 113 of the Pennsylvania Fishing and Boating
Regulations. You can find them in their entirety on the web
at

along with the application. The completed
application should be mailed to
PA Fish and Boat Commission, PO Box 6700 , Harrisburg PA
l7l06-7000.
The U. S. Coast Guard administers the
U. S. Aids to Navigation System in the United States.
This system is adopted by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission for use in PA which it administers on waters not
marked by the U. S. Coast Guard, such as Harvey’s Lake.
