Policies
No. 20101
Approved: 04/12/22
Revised and Approved 04/14/22
POLICY: Boats – New Policy – in conjunction with Rules & Regulations for Boats
* Any violations of these policies may result in fines of 100.00 for each offense and are doubled for subsequent violations.
BOAT RULES:
Didymosphenia Geminate is an algae which will contaminate our lakes.
It is brought in by outside boats and therefore any boats not registered in Camelot Forest are prohibited on either Lake Guenever or Lake Kathryn by homeowners or renters. If such an occasion arose that a homeowner did utilize their watercraft in another body of water they must follow proper cleaning protocol as describe below. This not only includes the craft itself but any accessories and flotation devices during this time.
PROTOCOL:
Clean all gear and watercraft in 2.5 – 5.0% solution of household bleach and hot water for 10 minutes. Hard to remove debris should be scrubbed with biodegradable detergent. Dry all of the craft and gear to the touch and continue drying time for at least 48 hours.
A motion to prohibit renters from bringing in their own boats and other water vessels to either of our lakes was approved and passed at the March 10, 2022 Board of Directors meeting.
