The United Communities of Mountain Island Lake (UCMIL) petition against the Motor Vessel Managed Access Regulations being proposed by the Mountain Island Lake Marine Commission. As users of Mountain Island Lake (MIL) we reject the proposed Usage Fee which is described as a permit to operate a power boat on MIL. This un-disclosed fee is in addition to the normal Wildlife Registration and is being collected by the Marine Commission. We also reject the proposed restrictions on the length of boat allowed on MIL.

In addition to the rejection of such proposed regulations, the UCMIL is petitioning for adequate time to review all available information and impact studies which support the Marine Commissions decisions for proposing such restrictions. The intent of the United Communities of Mountain Island Lake is to help users of MIL understand the changing needs of our lake and to serve as one voice in communicating with the Mountain Island Lake Marine Commission.
