Salem OR - Proposed rules that would restrict smoking of tobacco products on the ocean shore recreation area will be open for public comment through
<b>August 29, 2014.</b> Comments will be taken by email, and through a series of four public hearings in August.<br>
<br>
Rules that restrict smoking on Oregon state park properties were approved in February by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission. Education about the new rule is taking place through 2014, and enforcement will begin in 2015. Previous public comments
related to the state park rule asked the department to undertake a similar effort on the ocean shore, which is adjacent to many state parks. Citing environmental issues as a primary concern--plastic cigarette butts can persist for years, even in the harsh
beach environment--the commission approved a staff request to consider a smoking rule for the ocean shore.<br>
<br>
After listening to public comment between now and August 29, the department plans to present information to the Commission on September 17 at its meeting near Silverton, and return November 19 with a final recommendation at the Astoria meeting.<br>
<br>
Public comment will play a key role in the decision to create a rule. Comments can be sent to the department through regular mail (OPRD Beach Smoking, 725 Summer St NE, Suite C, Salem OR 97301), by e-mail (<a href="mailto:oprd.publiccomment@oregon.gov">oprd.publiccomment@oregon.gov</a>),
or in person at one of four public hearings scheduled in August. All hearings begin at 7 p.m. at the locations listed below.<br>
