On October 10, 1990 Council Order 90-335 was approved which authorized the City Manager to accept a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, designating existing facilities on the Penobscot River as a Federal Navigation Channel. Since that time, the Army Corp of Engineers has indicated that the permit is no longer valid, thus we are prohibited from allowing boats to be moored in the River. On October 4, 2011, the Infrastructure Committee reviewed and recommended that the City seek congregational support to allow Bangor's Harbor to be re-designated as a Federal Anchorage by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, thus allowing moorings in the River.
