Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) have just introduced S. 2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008. S. 2766 would fully and permanently restore a 35-year permit exemption for recreational boat incidental discharges, such as weather deck run-off and engine coolant water, and works to protect the health of the nation's waterways by pursuing whether or not reasonable and practicable best management practices need to be put into place for some incidental discharges.

I was wondering if anyone has recieved a letter from Senators Barbara Boxer yet?

I just recieved this one.

Thank you for writing to me about recreational boating.

I am very pleased to tell you that I have joined with Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) in introducing S.2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008. Our bill would make permanent the existing exemption for recreational boaters under the Clean Water Act. It also requires the Environmental Protection Agency and the Coast Guard to develop management practices, outside of any permitting programs, to assist boaters in minimizing adverse pollution impacts. By assisting boaters in ways that maintain and improve water quality, the boating experience can be enhanced for all users.

In developing this bill, I worked closely with boat user groups and recreational boat manufacturers to meet the needs of boaters and our mutual goal of clean water.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association, which is leading the efforts on behalf of boaters everywhere, said, "This legislation takes a balanced approach which protects the American marine manufacturing sector, boaters and anglers, and the nation's aquatic resources."

As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, I will be working with my colleagues to see that this legislation to protect recreational boaters and improve water quality is considered and approved by the Senate.

Hey Kelly, thanks for the shoutout! :pirate

It's nice to be here!

I've got the rebuilds planned for this spring, just waiting on the tax return to help fund the effort, hopefully I'll be able to do the Group K mods while I'm at it!
