SLIPP sets sights on derelict docks By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Abandoned derelict docks between Salmon Arm and Sicamous, and in Blind Bay, will be removed this fall. The multi-agency Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) is responding to public complaints and foreshore mapping, which revealed there is a large number of abandoned derelict docks in
Shuswap and Mara lakes. These structures can create safety issues for boaters, impede public access along the shoreline and reduce the esthetic values of the lake. As well, these docks can have significant impacts on fish habitat, by damaging spawning and rearing grounds through changes to water circulation patterns which are important for maintaining quality habitat. Derelict and abandoned dock removal is part of the
SLIPP shoreline restoration program and member agencies have committed resources toward finding and removing the structures. With SLIPP’s Oct. 18 announcement comes a reminder to property owners that all docks and bouys must be authorized under the Provincial Land Act to ensure they meet construction and design requirements. As well, no new dock or buoy should be installed
