Taking on water and heavy in the bow. Need to do something soon.


Never mind, too late.

San Juan County is the lead agency on the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) derelict vessel program, but so far the County has not got up to speed on how, when, and if, the county should be removing derelict vessels. DNR reportedly has in excess of $100,000.00 available for the costs of vessel removal in San Juan County, but there is still the problem of identifying the ones that fit the program. If the County mistakenly removes a boat that is NOT a derelict vessel, the County could have a vessel full of problems. The problem is being studied.
