Bladen County (White Lake) Public Comments

The agency was recently notified of a serious safety hazard caused by previous amendments to the Rule for the restricted area at White Lake. The restricted area is 500 feet from the shoreline around the entire perimeter of the lake. Because of the size of the restricted area and the shallow water in that portion of the lake, swimming within the restricted area is common. The proposed amendment will require motorboats to travel perpendicular to the shore and at no wake speed within the restricted area at White Lake.
