Marine Board Meeting in Salem March 28

The Oregon State Marine Board is holding their quarterly Board meeting on March 28, beginning at 9 am.  The meeting will be held at the Marine Board office, 435 Commercial St. NE, in Salem.

The Board will consider adopting rules for Mufflers (OAR 250-010-0121), Flotation Encapsulation Rules; Definitions (OAR 250-010-0700), Boat Operations in Jefferson County (OAR 250-020-0161) for the Fly Creek Inlet. The Board will also consider opening rulemaking on a petition received on January 11, 2018 for Fords Pond in Douglas County that would prohibit the use of motorboats, except those propelled by electric motors.   The proposed rule for Boat Operations in Douglas County (OAR 250-020-0102) would also establish a 5 mph speed limit on the pond.  The proposed rule is being sought as a safety measure due to the size and depth of the pond and to protect the pond's earthen dam. The public comment period for these items is closed.

Additionally, staff will update the Board on the discussions from the statewide wake sport rules advisory committee and will ask the Board to consider legislative concepts for the 2019 session.
