| Marine Board Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Rules for Cheadle Lake |
|
For Immediate Release -11/5/09
The Oregon State Marine Board seeks written public comment on a proposed electric-motor-only rule on Cheadle Lake in Linn County.
Cheadle Lake was at one time a private log pond but is now available for public use under management by the City of Lebanon. The City is developing the waterway into a recreation area suitable for fishing and boating activities. Because Cheadle Lake is shallow and experiences fluctuating water levels, the City of Lebanon requested an electric motor only rule for powerboats. If an electric motor only rule is adopted, the lake would be open to paddle craft, sail and electric motorboats.
Written comments will be accepted until November 30 at 5 p.m. Comments may be submitted by maile to June LeTarte, OSMB, PO Box 14145, Salem, OR 97309; by email to osmb.rulemaking@state.or.us; or by fax to (503) 378-4597. Telephone comments will not be accepted.
