Boaters Need Legislators
To Act Quickly On Newly-Introduced
“Clean Boating Act Of 2008”
Unless Congress passes legislation, every boat in this country will need an EPA discharge permit to leagally operate after
September 30,2008!
If the permit system becomes a reality, you will be required to pay for a state permit for each of your boats. EPA will be potentially monitoring your deck runoff, grey water, bilge water, engine cooling water, and the use of copper bottom paints.
We urge every boater, angler, and boat owner to click on the following links to learn more about this new legislation. Please take a few minutes and let your federal Senators and Congressmen know about the importance of boating in your life, and ask them to co-sponsor or support this new legislation. Remember that if we don't get legislation passed, we all need to get EPA permits to operate our boats effective 9/30/08!
