For Immediate Release                    Date: March 26, 2014

Marine Board Seeks Public Comment to the Boating Deadline at Willamette Falls

On March 22, the Oregon State Marine Board received a petition requesting that the Marine Board re-position the boating access deadline at Willamette Falls, near Oregon City. The new deadline, as proposed in the petition, would allow boating access up to the base of the Falls, move the motorized boating deadline to the top of the rapid, and allow whitewater kayakers to surf the waves at the top of the rapid.
            The Marine Board staff will be holding a public meeting where interested parties can learn about the petition and provide oral testimony or written comments on the merit of the proposed changes.  The public meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 16, at 7:00 pm, at Clackamas Community College, McLoughlin Auditorium, 19600 Molalla Avenue, in Oregon City.  No decisions will be made at this public meeting.
The Marine Board will decide whether or not to open rulemaking at its next scheduled Board meeting on April 23, in Salem.
            Written comments will be accepted via mail, fax, or email and can be sent to June LeTarte, Rules Coordinator, 435 Commercial Street NE, Salem, 97301, fax number 503-378-4597 or at osmb.rulemaking at state.or.us<mailto:osmb.rulemaking at state.or.us>.  Written comments will be accepted until the end of the public meeting on Wednesday, April 16.
