Calendar Year 2024
To All Mooring & Pulley Pole Permit Holders:
The final step in the mooring permit process is to issue decals which must be affixed to mooring
buoys or pulley poles. The color of the decals will change each year and will be marked with the year
and your 4 digit permit number. Upon approval of your 2024 mooring permit application, your 2024
decals will be mailed to you. The decal that begins with #1 must be affixed to your vessel and the
other decal that begins with #2 should be affixed to your mooring or pulley pole.
By signing this form, you are acknowledging the following:
e Your buoy is white with a clearly visible horizontal blue reflective band around the
circumference of the buoy, centered midway between the top of the buoy and the waterline.
e Winter Mooring Sticks MUST be removed by May 31° and replaced by conforming buoy.
e Your mooring or pulley pole permit number is identified on your mooring buoy in numbers at
least 3” in height.
e You will affix your decal to your mooring buoy or pulley pole in a clearly visible spot,
approximately 2” to the right of your 4 digit permit number.
e If you are not renewing your mooring or pulley pole permit, you are responsible for removing
your ground tackle and notifying the Waterford Harbor Management Commission.
e If your ground tackle becomes “lost”, you are responsible for hiring a certified diver to search
for the lost equipment and provide a signed statement to the Harbor Master attesting to the
details of the search. You will not receive a new mooring or pulley pole permit until such
search is performed and signed statement is received.
e Moorings or pulley poles that are not in compliance with this permit are subject to
removal by the Harbor Master, at the owner’s expense. Gear that is removed by the Harbor
Master will be retained for 6 months. The gear will be disposed of if the owner does not
contact the Harbor Master or the Harbor Management Commission within the 6 month
timeframe.
If you have any questions, please contact the Harbor Master, David Crocker at (860) 442-5994 or by
email at crockerd64gmail.com.
