N.M. Admin. Code § 18.17.3.17 - INSPECTIONS, REMOVAL FOR VIOLATIONS
A. Boat docks are subject to inspection by
the division, or its authorized agents, without notice, at reasonable times.
Boat dock owners shall also allow entities permitting or approving docks to
conduct inspections in accordance with that entity's guidelines. If there are
no such guidelines, the mandatory inspection guidelines in Subsection C of
18.17.3.17 NMAC shall be
followed.
B. Boat dock owners and
boat docks shall comply with 18.17.3 NMAC and any requirements contained in a
permit at all times.
C. Boat dock
owners shall have their boat docks inspected every five years by an RPE at
their own expense. Inspections shall cover every component of the entire boat
dock, including boat dock, catwalk, anchorage, winches, cable, decking and
flotation material and encasements. After each inspection, boat dock owners
shall submit a letter to the division signed and sealed by the RPE who
conducted the inspection stating that the entire boat dock meets or exceeds the
design standards set forth in 18.17.3 NMAC.
D. Failure to complete inspections, follow
inspection guidelines set forth above, or to correct any violations of 18.17.3
NMAC within 30 days of receipt of written notice, may result in the division or
permitting entity requiring removal of the boat dock at the boat dock owner's
expense.
E. The division or
permitting entity may remove boat docks that become hazards to navigation at
the boat dock owner's expense.
