Marine Board Seeks Written Public Comment on Ford’s Pond Petition

On January 11, 2018, the Marine Board received a petition requesting the Marine Board consider rulemaking for Boat Operations in Douglas County for Ford’s Pond.

The proposed rule would prohibit the use of motorboats, except those propelled by electric motors, on Ford’s Pond.  It would also establish a 5 mph speed limit on the pond.  The new rule is being proposed as a safety measure due to the size and depth of the pond and to protect the pond’s earthen dam.

Written comments are being accepted through February 28, 2018 by 5 pm and can be submitted via email to osmb.rulemaking at oregon.gov<mailto:osmb.rulemaking at oregon.gov> or by U.S. mail to: June LeTarte, Administrative Rules Coordinator, 435 Commercial St. NE, Suite 400, Salem, OR 97301.  Comments via telephone will not be accepted.
