LEGISLATIVE ALERT!!!!

Most folks are not aware that EPA has been directed by a court decision to draft rules that will require all recreational boats to obtain a permit for waste water discharge.   If enacted this ruling will cost both time and money - yours!   EPA is working on the ruling at this moment.  Fortunately two US Senators have proposed legislation that if passed will exempt recreational boats from such permitting procedures.

Senators Boxer and Nelson have introduced S. 2766 The Clean Boating Act of 2008, and it is time for recreational boaters to make their voice heard loud and clear in support of their actions.   Luckily doing so is easy.   Below are the instructions for getting your voice counted in this critically important issue.  It only takes a minute or so once you are logged on.
