This is from Dutch Ruppersberger Dear Mike This letter acknowledges receipt of your communication regarding H.R. 2550, the Recreational Boating Act. The Recreational Boating Act would amend the Clean Water Act to restore the exemption for recreational boats from Clean Water Act regulations governing deck runoff and ballast water. Without this exemption, recreational boaters would have to pay for permits originally intended for large commercial ships. This bill was introduced on May 24, 2007 by Congressman Gene Taylor of Mississippi. It was referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. I am a proud cosponsor of this bill. As a Baltimore native, I understand the importance of boating to our state’s way of life. All Marylanders, especially boaters, know how important it is to protect the Chesapeake Bay and other waterways in our state. The 2nd District of Maryland follows the Chesapeake coast from Dundalk to Havre de Grace. I want to make sure that people have the freedom to enjoy boating in Maryland, while preserving our beautiful waterways for future generations. |
