Dock installation deadline at Hartwell Lake<\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

SAVANNAH<\/span><\/em><\/strong>, Ga.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u2013<\/span><\/strong> Officials with the\u00a0U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\u2019 Hartwell Project<\/span><\/a> office instituted a Jan. 1, 2010, deadline for installation of newly permitted docks on the lake that could not be installed during the recent drought. \u00a0Permit holders facing this deadline who do not install their docks by Jan. 1, 2010, will lose the boat dock portion of the permit.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re reminding property owners who have dock permits but have not installed them of the upcoming deadline,\u201d said Virgil Hobbs, Hartwell project manager. \u00a0\u201dWe urge permit holders to take advantage of the near-normal water levels to have their docks installed.\u201d\u00a0With the recent rainfall, drought conditions have lessened and the reservoir has mostly recovered. <\/span><\/div>\n
Dock permits issued under previous Shoreline Management Plans (SMP) had no installation deadline.\u00a0The most current SMP (2007), implemented in June 2006, requires docks to be installed within one year of issuance.\u00a0Permits issued under the 2007 SMP that are past the one-year installation deadline are subject to the Jan. 1, 2010 deadline.\u00a0The\u00a0Savannah District commander<\/a> suspended the deadline for the installation of these docks due to drought-related, low lake elevations. \u00a0With the current deeper water, Corps officials encourage owners to proceed to avoid a backlog of installations at the end of the year, Hobbs said.<\/span><\/div>\n
Hobbs<\/span> explained the two alternatives if an owner misses the deadline and forfeits the dock permit.<\/span><\/div>\n
o <\/span><\/span>The property owner may re-apply after six months but must pay a new $400 application fee.\u00a0Neighbors may apply and receive a dock permit during the 6-month waiting period.\u00a0This may prevent the original permit holder from receiving a new permit.\u00a0Under the current SMP docks must be separated by at least 50 feet.\u00a0For current permit <\/span>requirements, see the 2007 Hartwell Lake Shoreline Management Plan online at <\/span>http:\/\/www.sas.usace.army.mil\/lakes\/hartwell\/hsmp.htm<\/a> .<\/span><\/div>\n
o <\/span><\/span>Alternately, if owners fail to meet the Jan. 1 deadline they risk losing the permit permanently.\u00a0If the property does not meet the current permit issuing requirements, and the boat dock portion of the permit is cancelled, the lot will no longer qualify for a boat dock.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cIn this instance, the only way to insure the boat dock portion of your permit remains valid is to install the approved dock before the deadline,\u201d Hobbs said, \u201cand any application for modification to an existing Shoreline Use Permit is contingent upon the property meeting the 2007 Hartwell Shoreline Management Plan permit criteria.\u201d <\/span><\/div>\n
