Marina inspection report With the arrival of summer and boating season, the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office has announced that results of the public marina and dock inspection program have been posted on the Department’s website for review. The marina inspection program was created as part of the passage of the Noah Dean and Nate Act. It was named after Noah Dean Winstead, 10, and Nate Lynam, 11, who died on July 4, 2012 after being electrocuted while swimming at the Cherokee Lake marina. The Noah Dean and Nate Act requires that all public marinas and docks be inspected and boat dock or marina operators must comply with equipment requirements preventing possible electrical shocks and electrocution. The state, which began the public marina and dock inspections on Jan. 1, 2015, hired a full-time marina inspector who has currently inspected 116 of the more than 300 Tennessee public marinas and docks. Commissioner Julie McPeak said “Posting the marina inspections results gives Tennesseans important information about public marinas and again demonstrates our commitment to transparency. …. It is our hope that the marina inspection program will prevent future tragedies from ever occurring.”
