Local Boater Program

They started accepting applications this week for anyone else trying to get a head start on putting together the 1/2 dozen documents and fees required for the year.

What are they requiring this year?

Same as always… proof you store your boat 25 miles from wahweep/bullfrog and you have to answer 1/2 a dozen questions about quaggas…

I'm going by the spirit of the law on this one.

Goal of the program is to not spread mussles. I AM a local boater, store in Page and never launch on another body of water.

Here is what I do to still take advantage of the "Local Boater Program." While driving up the ramp I'm draining just as I should, I empty all water tanks and when approached by the red tape environmentalist I say, "I'm launching tomorrow." And then I go park it in my storage in Page where it "drains and dries" for 2-3 weeks until I launch again, in POWELL!

I used to do the program but got tired of the paperwork and fees for something that proves nothing as it's all still on the honor system anyways.

I agree and I don’t know that it does much at the end of the day, but just for those interested it is free without any fees. You do have to fill out an online form and upload your “proof” which takes effort.

I normally get waved through both entering and exiting so that I don’t even have to stop and talk to the red tape environmentalist…

I mainly do it so that I can embellish the advantages and just make the people without it upset that they don’t have the sticker!
