k. Description of Proceeding: The Commission has begun a proceeding
to determine if reserved authority in article 41 of the license should
be used to require a boat launch facility in the tailwater area below
Markham Ferry Project's Kerr dam. The proceeding is in response to
concerns raised by private citizens, and other entities about the
removal of a haul road in the subject area that was used as an informal
boat launching ramp. The concerned parties support the reestablishment
of boat access to the tailwater area. The Commission has determined
that a boat launch facility in the tailwater area is needed, could be
operated in a safe manner, and would enhance public fishing
opportunities.
The Commission staff prepared an analysis evaluating the need and
feasibility of a boat launch facility in the tailwater area of Kerr
dam. A copy of this analysis can be obtained by calling the
Commission's public reference room at (202) 208-1371.
