A big thank you to Tom, Mike, and Dave!

Thank you for taking time out of your Saturday to remove the buoys from the lake today. We truly appreciate your time and hard work in helping prepare the lake for the off-season!

A reminder to all boaters: Although the buoys are now out of the water, please continue to be mindful of your wakes. Timber, shorelines, docks, and other lakefront property can still be impacted by excessive wakes. Please operate your boats responsibly and be considerate of your fellow lake residents.

Thanks again, Tom, Mike, and Dave, for all you do for our lake community!

🚨 **URGENT UPDATE TO ALL PLA MEMBERS – LEAF BURNING IS ILLEGAL IN NEW JERSEY** 🚨

The Paulinskill Lake Association is reminding all members and residents that **BURNING LEAVES IS ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. DO NOT DO IT!**

This is not a recommendation or a matter of personal preference. It is a state regulation.

Under **New Jersey Administrative Code N.J.A.C. 7:27-2.3(b)**:

"No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit the disposal of fallen leaves by open burning."

This prohibition applies to burning leaves on your property, including piles of leaves and outdoor burning areas. There is no general residential exemption allowing homeowners to burn their leaves.

**PLEASE DO NOT BURN LEAVES.**

Beyond violating state regulations, burning leaves creates unnecessary smoke, affects air quality, impacts neighboring properties, and presents a serious fire risk, particularly in our wooded lake community.

Please dispose of leaves through appropriate municipal collection, designated disposal facilities, or composting.

**The PLA Board expects all members and residents to comply with New Jersey law.** Please be considerate of your neighbors and help us keep Paulinskill Lake safe.

If you see leaf burning taking place, please report it to the appropriate local fire official.

**THANK YOU FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND COOPERATION.**

🍂 A Friendly Reminder to Our PLA Lakefront Owners 🍂

As the fall season continues and leaves begin to accumulate, the PLA Board respectfully asks all lakefront owners to please refrain from blowing or depositing leaves into the lake.

While leaves are a natural part of the environment, adding large amounts directly into the lake can contribute excess nutrients and organic matter, negatively impacting water quality and overall lake health.

Paulinskill Lake is one of our community’s most beautiful and valuable assets. Protecting it requires a shared commitment from all of us. By being mindful of how we manage our leaves, we can help preserve the lake for our families, our neighbors, and future generations to enjoy.

We appreciate your cooperation and your continued support in keeping our lake healthy and beautiful. 💙🌊

Let’s all do our part to protect Paulinskill Lake!
