Got the Petition

It's a long-winded document, but here's the important part.

Purpose of Petition and Proposed Rule
The purpose of this petition, under the provisions for 10 VSA 1424, is to request the Water Resources Panel of the VT Natural Resources board adopt a no wake rule to prohibit activities by motorized vessels that would create a wake on the waters of the Holland Pond in order to protect the traditional uses and natural resources values of this unique area. A provision will be included to address the possible need for emergency vessel operation.

Motorized, wake-producing activities on Holland Pond:

1. are not common, traditional recreational uses
   
2. disrupt the enjoyment of traditional uses of Holland Pond (paddling, fishing, quiet recreation)
   
3. create possible safety issues of other recreational uses
   
4. contribute to shoreline erosion problems
   
5. are potentially harmful to water quality, flora and fauna
   
6. threaten the wilderness-like characteristics of the area
   
7. are not compatible with low-intensity use management of adjacent wildlife management area
