The Lake Champlain Transportation Co. (LCT) has
submitted plans to the Agency of Natural Recourses; Water Quality Division to built five
30' finger docks in Burlington Harbor. The docks will be constructed this winter and
installed by the beginning of the boating season.
The docks are intended to satisfy the need for additional access to
Burlington by transient boaters. The dock will also allow LCT excursion vessels safer
access for the loading and unloading of passengers.
The docks are to be constructed of pressure treated wood with
plastic barrel floats. The main dock will be attached to the existing steel bulkhead and
will be installed so as to raise and fall with the lake level. The fingers are to be
attached by a 3000lb. concrete block at the end of each dock. Two piling clusters are to
driven off the most southerly face of the dock to provide for docking assistance for
larger vessels. Dredging will not be required.
