IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) "Maximum Additional Moorings" as outlined in the TRPA Code of Ordinances Subsection 84.3.2(E).

2)  For Annual Mooring Summaries, the Shoreline Plan, approved in 2018, places a cap on the total number of moorings allowed in the Tahoe Region and establishes an annual lottery system to allocate new moorings. During each lottery period, TRPA will accept applications to enter the moorings lottery for an allocation. Applications are then reviewed for parcel eligibility and only eligible moorings are included as part of the lottery drawing.

3) Per TRPA Code of Ordinances Subsection 84.3.2 (E)(4), a maximum of 15 percent of the available moorings in each pool shall be permitted annually.

4) Per TRPA Code of Ordinances Subsection 84.3.2 (E)(4), moorings that are not released shall remain in the respective mooring pools for re-calculation in the subsequent lottery. Any returned or unused allocations will also be returned to the pools prior to the next lottery drawing.
