Next DLC meeting will be March 16. Interlaken Townhall, 100 Grasmere Ave at 7PM

The DLC was chartered in 1974 by the 7 shore line towns. Our mission is to provide leadership, guidance, and resources to preserve and restore Deal Lake and its tributaries as a healthy and stable ecosystem. In addition, control lake levels during heavy storms to the best of our ability with limited ocean tide controls.

    Recertification Agreement for the DLC in 2015

     Recertification Agreement for the DLC – 2015 – Click Here to View

    The Draft DLC Recertification Agreement is attached.  Next month a fresher daft will be revised and reposted for public review and comment.  It will be discussed during our next two meetings before heading to the Towns for recertification.  Public comment is always welcomed on this document via the “contact” tab of this web site or in person at our DLC meetings.  A few things I would like to see beefed up the words on our watershed and storm water/silt management upstream.

    –Don Brockel, DLC Chairman

    Below are some questions that have been asked about the DLC Recertification Agreement. Hopefully these answers can clear up any misunderstandings.

    • Q. The agreement on the DLC web site has a heading “Draft” and appears to contain typographical errors.  Is this the document that has been sent to the constituent municipalities?  If not, will the DLC provide the document that was actually sent to the municipalities?
      A. Any typographical errors in the “Draft” document were corrected in the final version sent to the constituent municipalities. Both versions are posted on the website.
    • Q.  The differences between the existing/previous document and proposed document would like to be understood.  Will the DLC provide the existing document?
      A. All changes to the original document are identified in the “Draft” as follows: text deletions by strikethrough, additions to text by italicized and underlined text .  The “Final” document incorporates all the changes identified in the “Draft”.
    • Q.  Was the proposed document presented for public comment?  If so when and how did this notification occur?
      A. The document was discussed at several public meetings of the Commission and posted on our website with no comments from the public.
    • Q. Have any municipalities signed and returned the document?  If so, which municipalities?
      A. Yes, the Borough of Deal
