State marine board takes comments
Saturday, November 08, 2008 | No comments posted.
The Oregon State Marine Board is proposing motor boat restrictions on the South Fork Coquille River, but not before hearing what people think.
The agency has scheduled a public meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the North Bend Public Library, 1800 Sherman Ave.
In late March, the Marine Board received a petition seeking motorboat restrictions on a portion of the South Fork Coquille River in Coos County. The petition specifically requested a motorboat ban on the river from Broadbent to the Forest Service boundary above Powers.
The request came about to try to resolve conflicts on the river during congested periods. The board is also interested in comments on compromise language that would allow electric-motor-only use, or language that would restrict motor use every-other-day on the river.
Interested parties are encouraged to attend the meeting or submit written testimony.
Written comments are being accepted until Nov. 30 and can be mailed to June LeTarte, OSMB, P.O. Box 14145, Salem, OR 97309. Comments also can be sent via e-mail to osmb.rulemaking@state.or.us, or faxed to (503) 378-4597.
