<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will replace two of Lake Billy Chinook’s existing floating restrooms which are both over 10 years
old. The older units will be replaced with state-of-the-art flush restrooms that are designed to reduce maintenance costs and improve efficiency. The new restrooms will be installed in the spring of 2016. The older floating restrooms will be retro-fitted
and relocated to other waterbodies in Oregon. OPRD also received another grant that will pay for the reconstruction of the upper portion of the boat ramp at Indian Creek on Owyhee Reservoir. The maneuver area will also be expanded and reconfigured to improve
traffic flow, separate from other park uses. The upgrades will be ADA accessible.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Union County will replace the 15-year old boarding docks with new, self-adjusting boarding docks at Thief Valley Reservoir. The new docks will
be easier for the county to maintain. The county expects to have the project completed in 2016.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The US Forest Service will use the grant funds to pay for final design and engineering plans to repair the boat ramp, dock, retaining wall and
gangway that was destroyed during an episodic 2012 flood. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">And finally, McNary Yacht Club on the Mid-Columbia River, for a new pumpout. The Yacht Club does not charge a fee for use of the pumpout, which
is a tremendous service to boaters. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The Marine Board is funded by registration fees and marine fuel taxes paid by boaters.
<strong>No general fund tax dollars</strong> are used to support the agency or its programs. Boater-paid fees go back to boaters in the form of law enforcement services (on-the-water enforcement, training and equipment), education/outreach materials and boating
access facilities. Fees charged by waterway managers for parking and launching, reduces Maintenance Assistance Program funds the Marine Board provides for qualifying grant recipients.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
