****danger around pultneyville area****

[hondo573]

 There is an approximatly 500 foot  long  6 inch diameter pipe floating about 500 to 800 foot out in front of pultneyville yacht club  on 3/13/25  @ 16:00 hrs... it is black and is a pipe inside a pipe.  This is a major navigation hazard and will certainly cause damage and injury if hit at speed. While fishing yesterday  we were having an electrical issue that had us down to our kicker motor only  so we couldn't pull it to shore.  We contacted  the sherrifs office and left messages at the coast gaurd number.    Be very careful if your in that area!!!!!

That is amazing. You are lucky to have seen it and on your kicker. It could have done some serious damage

I just checked with someone at the yacht club and they said it is definitely a water plant issue.

There was a dredge pipe like that at the Brockport Yacht club on Sandy.  I wonder if the ice dragged it out.  I would doubt it’s a water plant pipe.  Most intakes and outfalls are not 6” pipe and not plastic pipe.

Not sure exactly what it is but man it's big!  There are now a number of large orange hazard markers attached to it.  It's maybe about 700 yards out from the yacht club apparently grounded in shallow water.  Glad you didn't try to tow it.  I took a quick run out from the yacht club in a 12' rowboat with a trolling motor to take a look.  I wouldn't have towed it even if I had the big rig.  Anyone have any idea who's responsibility this would be to remove it?  Coast Guard, State Police?  Whatever, it is clear that someone is working on it given the attached hazard floats.

The dredge pipe at the Brockport Yacht club had orange markers on it.  Hmmmm...

Perhaps dredging activity at the Pultneyville Yacht Club marina associated with low LO level (despite previous denial)... ?
