Dredging- Removal of Moorings and Floats

August 27, 2007

To: Mooring Owners and members of the Crane River Marina

On Thursday, August 23, 2007 the Town of Danvers held an informational meeting for mooring owners and boat owners who use the Town’s Crane River Marina. All mooring owners and boat owners who use the Town’s Crane River Marina were informed of the meeting and we are sorry you were unable to attend.

At that meeting we went over the information that was in the meeting notice, a copy of which is included with this mailing, in more detail and answered any questions from the audience. We also want you to be able to ask us any questions that you might have about the dredging project. For that reason we are also including copies of the handouts that were distributed at the meeting with this mailing. These handouts will show you the areas of the Crane and Porter Rivers that we are going to be dredged, the areas that have been designated for the temporary storage of the private moorings and floats, and a list of local contractors that you may be interested in contacting to relocate your mooring and/or float.

It was also announced at the meeting that the Town will give a 5% discount towards next season’s rent to the private mooring owners and boaters who rent space at the Crane River Marina. This one time discount will be offered to those who are renting this year and are returning next season. It is being offered as an acknowledgement from the Town of Danvers that although the dredging will benefit all who use our rivers, it is also an inconvenience to those mooring owners and Town marina customers who will be affected by the dredge project.

The bids for this project will be opened on August 30, 2007 and we hope to select the contractor for the project soon afterward.

If you have any questions regarding this project or what you need to do to comply with the requirements of this project, please feel free to contact:

Susan Fletcher, Asst. Director Planning and Human Services (978) 777-0001 ext. 3027
Christopher Sanborn, Harbormaster (978) 762-0210
