I don't know if any of you have kept abreast of this. Feel free to read and act upon this if it concerns you:
ALL BOATERS BEWARE! ACT NOW TO PREVENT MANDATORY EPA PERMITS IN SEPTEMBER!
FOR EVERYONE WHO OWNS A BOAT, ROWBOAT, CANOE, JET SKI, DUCK BOAT, INFLATABLE RUBBERIZED BOAT-----ANYTHING THAT FLOATS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A STATE WATERCRAFT REGISTRATION NUMBER TO OPERATE----YOU NEED TO READ AN ACT UPON THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM BOAT US REGARDING THE CLEAN BOATING ACT OF 2008-----------
The time is drawing near where our United States Congress needs to ACT on SENATE BILL S. 2766, THE CLEAN BOATING ACT OF 2008. Otherwise, by September 30, 2008, every boat owner in the United States will have to obtain an EPA discharge permit in order to legally operate their boat---canoe---rowboat---jet ski----and anything float-able which requires a state watercraft registration number. It is HIGHLY LIKELY that you will also need separate permits from EACH STATE where you plan to use your boat.
Go to the BOAT US website for more detailed information www.boatus.com/gov
( Federal Alerts March 19, 2008 EPA Discharge Permit Requirement for Recreational Boats)
Also, OPEN THE ATTACHED PDF FILE to read an April 3, 2008 urgent message from BOAT US Vice President of Government Affairs, Margaret Podlich regarding this issue, including how to contact your United States Senators to request them to support and vote for S. 2766, The Clean Boating Act of 2008------immediately.
This is a ridiculous, costly and unnecessary permit which will have a HUGE negative impact on boaters and boating nationwide, not to mention another costly addition to our already overburdened bureaucracy. It will also be very costly to YOU, the boater; especially if you own multiple boats and venture to other states. Congress only has a short time to act prior to going on summer recess-----ACT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
(The pdf is too big to attach. PM me if you want it.)
