IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) "Maximum Additional Moorings" as outlined in the TRPA Code of Ordinances Subsection 84.3.2 (E)(2).

2) On August 28, 2024, the TRPA Governing Board certified Meeks Bay Restoration EIS. The project includes a mitigation measure that adds 119 moorings from the decommissioned marina back to the Additional Marina Mooring Pool for future allocation. This action increased the pool from 330 to 449 additional marina moorings, minus those already allocated.

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.
