Lighthouse Landing Marina to Receive Clean Marina Certification
Oct. 1, 2003GRAND RIVERS, Ky. – Lighthouse Landing Marina on Kentucky Reservoir has earned the right to fly a Clean Marina flag as a result of the marina’s actions to keep the waterways clean.
A certificate and flag was presented to Marty Colburn, owner/manager of Lighthouse Landing Marina, which is the first marina on Kentucky Reservoir to receive the clean marina designation.
“To receive this designation, a marina must meet all federal, state and
local regulations related to marina management,” said Andy Lawson, TVA’s
Clean Marina coordinator for Kentucky Reservoir. “Lighthouse Landing is
committed to controlling pollution and erosion and also encourages boaters to
become effective stewards of water resources.”
Lighthouse Landing Marina voluntarily sought innovative measures to handle
boat sewage. The marina was designated as a no-discharge marina, which prohibits
the
release of treated and untreated sewage within the harbor limits.
