- (1) The mooring is required to be relocated under Pda 510.04; or
- (2) The chief harbor master or designee determines that the relocation of a mooring is necessary in order to maximize, to the extent practicable, usage of a mooring field, mooring subfield, or nearshore area to allow additional vessel(s) to be moored in the mooring field, mooring subfield, or nearshore area.
- (b) The owner of the mooring shall be responsible for the cost of relocating the mooring, except when a relocation is required in order to accommodate another vessel under (a)(2) above. In such a case, the owner(s) of the vessel(s) being accommodated shall be responsible for the cost of relocating the mooring(s). If the owner(s) of the vessel(s) seeking accommodation declines to be responsible for the cost of relocating the mooring(s), the existing mooring(s) shall not be relocated.
