Update to Storage and DIY applications:

Beginning September 1, 2022 the Department of Ecology has issued a new Boatyard Permit for Skyline Marine Center (SMC). Under this new permit, SMC is required to maintain tighter benchmarks for pollutants on the ground and entering the storm water. We ask that all new and returning customer carefully review the following rules prior to submitting any applications, as some additional regulations have been put into place.
