  • Testimony of Bert Krages in Support of SB 857 I Am an Attorney And
    Testimony of Bert Krages in Support of SB 857 I am an attorney and former practicing environmental engineer who enjoys kayaking on the Willamette River. I paddled 97.3 hours on the Willamette River in 2020 and have paddled over 30 hours on the river this year. I have spent many additional hours observing the river from its shorelines and documenting its condition with video cameras. These observations are summarized in the following videos: https://youtu.be/rnOMEWxTdEc (2:07) https://youtu.be/lUEGmSchkyE (7:48) https://youtu.be/EZBavoyasts (15:13) Wake Boat Physics Explain Much of the Problem. Although wave height is the immediately noticeable aspect of boat wakes, wave energy is a more relevant parameter with respect to environmental damage. This is because waves retain much of their energy, and thus their ability to cause damage, even after their height decreases. The physics associated with waves is complex, but in a general sense wave energy can be thought of as the ability to exert scouring-type forces on nearshore sediments and to transfer force onto shoreline structures. It is these forces that suspend sediment and cause the high turbidity seen in the ecologically-critical edge habitat of the Newberg Pool and damage shoreline property. Wake experienced 300 feet from a wakesurfing boat, river mile 32.5, Newberg Pool. Several studies have been done on wakes generated by wakesurfing and wakeboarding and they consistently show that these activities create much more powerful wakes than does the typical recreational boat when cruising. In his study conducted on the Newberg Pool in 2018, Associate 1 Professor Gregor Macfarlane of the Australian Maritime College evaluated six models of wake boats with dry weights ranging from 3000 to 5500 pounds that were ballasted between 5520 and 10840 pounds.
