The reason the listing of Pickerel Pond was deleted was that it was placed on the list by mistake. In answer to my question about why the listing was changed I got this answer:

"The simple answer is that this body of water was listed in error. When it was first questioned, I researched the history and found that I had placed it on the list in error. There is, and has not in the past (to my knowledge) been a seaplane restriction on this body of water. Additionally, you are correct regarding the update date. I made the major update to include decisions that had been made in the past year on May 15 and failed to change the date when I made the correction for Pickerel Pond. I apologize for any confusion. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at 293-0091.

So, what must have happened

1) Posted by mistake
2) Someone saw it
3) I heard about it
4) I checked and found out it was true
5) Some controversy on these pages
6) I emailed Marine Patrol and was called back, confirming it was closed to seaplane landings
7) That must have led them to explore why it was posted (because I had asked when it was decided)
8) They realized it was posted in error and changed the website.

Full circle!
