BTW: This is a Private landing site and as such is NOT open to just anyone for landing at their discretion. Permission from the "Manager" of Bossey's Seaplane Base is required Prior to landing.

Again: Google it.
This is very interesting. With regards to another government agency, the EPA in particular, states are allowed stricter regulations, but not more lenient ones. A good example is Ca-li-for-ni-a (Arnold's pronunciation) and it's stricter emissions regulations. If the FAA indeed does trump the state in this case, it's counter to what I'm familiar with. Makes it difficult to know what the truth is. Bureaucracy...gotta love it. NOT.
