Marine Board Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Rules for Cheadle Lake

The Oregon State Marine Board seeks written public comment on a
proposed electric-motor-only rule on Cheadle Lake in Linn County.

Cheadle Lake was at one time a private log pond but is now available
for public use under management by the City of Lebanon.  The City is
developing the waterway into a recreation area suitable for fishing and
boating activities.  Because Cheadle Lake is shallow and experiences
fluctuating water levels, the City of Lebanon requested an electric-
motor-only rule for powerboats. If an electric-motor-only rule is
adopted, the lake would be open to paddle craft, sail and electric
motorboats.

Written comments will be accepted until November 30 at 5 p.m.  Comments
may be submitted by maile to June LeTarte, OSMB, PO Box 14145, Salem, OR
97309; by email to osmb.rulemaking at state.or.us; or by fax to (503)
378-4597.  Telephone comments will not be accepted.
