the Edgewater Marina on Foster Reservoir for recreational boaters who have onboard sanitation or portable sanitation devices (Port-A-Potty). Having a pumpout and dump station on Foster Reservoir, a very popular boating destination, will help keep the waterway

Bridge Wayside on the McKenzie River. The future improvements will include a single-lane concrete ramp, will expand the asphalt parking, maneuver and staging areas, treat stormwater runoff and provide better accessibility to the ramp.

<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>
