He, too, has been on the list for a permit to moor his boat for 8 years, just like the man he wrote about last month. The mooring area in Richmond Creek is a deep oval near the end of the entrance channel, big enough to moor at least 6 and maybe 8 boats.

A Fall update followed, and now PEP has awarded the Gardiners Bay Estates Homeowners Association a $10,000 grant to restore Spring Pond. The objective is to stop the first 45 minutes of storm runoff, which contains most of the bacteria we need to keep out of the water.
