[Paddlers] Oregon Aquatic Invasive Species PreventionPermit(AISPP) starting Jan 1, 2010

[Carin Rittby-Kane]

Thanks Beth!
At this time, I do not think we need to worry as a host club; we are not the
enforcing authority nor does it affect safety for the races.

(We can choose to remind OR paddlers to get their permit/license.)

  The bigger issue is whether we have to deal with this at all regarding
people coming to our small boat race?

    Yes, this absolutely applies to MHCC. Thank you Carin/Diane/Tom, I'd
already learned all about it, then promptly forgot about it. Can the board
handle this? It's not a huge sum of money.

      Happy New Paddling Year MountainHome CC Board and Members!





      The following news will apply to us OC1/OC2 Small Boat Owners as well
as the Club boats as I understand it.





      Thank you Diane and Tom for reminding us~





      -      The Race Committee will check on what rules say of boats from
out-of-state for our races (Canada, California mainly). It appears that
small boats from Washington state will not need this permit.

      -      MHCC Board will check in on how we will provide for the OC6 at
practices and races





      From Oregon State Marine Board website at http://www.boatoregon.com/ :





      Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit (AISPP)



      A new program to protect our waterways from the damaging impacts of
aquatic invasive species (AIS) requires boaters to purchase an AIS
Prevention Permit to use their boats

      beginning January 1, 2010.

      The $5 fee is automatically paid when powerboats or sailboats 12 feet
or longer are registered for the 2010 boating season. Powerboats with
registrations that expire December 31, 2010 do not need a permit until 2011.
The $5 fee will be included with the boat registration renewal.

      Operators of manually powered boats 10 feet or longer, such as canoes,
kayaks, drift boats, rafts and small sailboats, must purchase and carry the
$7 permit ($5 + $2 service fee) when using their boat in 2010. These permits
are available at all ODFW license agents. Out-of-state powerboat operators
will pay $22 ($20+$2 agent fee), also via ODFW license agents.







      What does this mean for those with manually powered boats
(paddlecraft)?

        a.. A permit for a manually powered boat (paddle boards, rafts,
drift boats, kayaks, canoes, etc.) 10 feet long and longer is issued in the
name of an individual, qualifying club or livery.  Once the individual has a
permit, he/she can use it with any manually powered boat.
        b.. At least one person on each manually powered boat must have a
permit.  One permit per boat.

      For example:

      1.     If there are three people in a drift boat, only one of them is
required to carry a permit.  The permit must be in the name of one of the
persons in the boat.

      2.     If there are three people in three kayaks, each individual is
required to carry a permit in their name

      3.     Permits are printed on water-resistant paper and easy to carry,
similar to a fishing license.

       What about non-motorized boating clubs?

        a.. Clubs can have permits issued in their name which must be
purchased directly from the Oregon State Marine Board.
      What about manually powered boats from Washington or Idaho?

        a.. Manually powered boats from Idaho that are 10 feet long or
longer and affixed with an Idaho Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention sticker
do not need an Oregon permit.
        b.. Manually powered boats from Washington do not need an Oregon
permit.
      Does this mean non-motorized boats will have to be registered?

        a.. No.  Non-motorized boats are NOT titled or registered under the
program.  Fees from permits are deposited directly into a fund dedicated to
this program.  They do not benefit the state's general fund.  Some of the
funds will be transferred to ODFW to implement the program and Oregon State
Police for law enforcement services.
        b.. Permits will be in the names of the people/organization
purchasing them.




      Carin/
