(a) The waters and environs of all NWRR bathing area(s) shall be kept free of slime, algae, aquatic growths, organic sediments, debris and other offensive materials to the extent necessary to prevent accidents, drownings and public nuisances. The breeding of mosquitoes, midges, water snails, and other aquatic pests shall be properly controlled.
(b) Hazards:
(1) No person or entity shall allow the use of any NWRR without first and periodically thereafter carefully sounding the depth of the water in the bathing area, and locating all eddies, pools, and dangerous currents, sunken logs, projections and obstructions in the stream, river or lake.
(2) No person or entity shall allow use of any NWRR without posting prominent signs indicating, in conspicuous letters at least four inches high (or as directed by the DEHS) the depth of the water in the bathing area, the location of all pools and eddies, and the presence and direction of dangerous currents, sunken logs, rocks, projections, and obstructions in the water. The signs shall be placed and permanently maintained adjacent to the bathing area when bathing and/or swimming is permitted or invited.
(3) No person or entity shall maintain a NWRR unless safety ropes and buoys are so located and permanently maintained wherever necessary to show the location of eddies, pools, dangerous currents, sunken obstructions, and other hidden dangers to bathers in the water.
