Marine Board Slated to Make Ruling on Upper Rogue River Boat Operations
The Oregon State Marine Board is expected to make a ruling tomorrow on new rules that will govern boat operations on the Upper Rogue River.
The Marine Board is holding its quarterly meeting at the agency's office in Salem on Thursday at 8:30 a.m..
The meeting agenda includes "Upper Rogue River Rulemaking Action: Board Vote." The Board can either approve new rules, modify proposed rules or take no action.
In October, the Marine Board held a work session at Rogue Community College's Riverside Campus in Medford to consider boat operations on the Rogue between the former Gold Ray Dam and Lost Creek Reservoir.
The meeting format included presentations and public testimony in which many citizens requested a ban on jetboats along with slower speed limits on that section of the Rogue River.
