  • 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.

  • The Scientific Evidence Regarding Enhanced Boat Wakes Is Compelling
    The Scientific Evidence Regarding Enhanced Boat Wakes is Compelling Executive Summary 1. Other jurisdictions have taken definitive, technically defensible actions to regulate large wakes ( Attachment A ) 2. Wake energy/power is directly related to wake height and goes up exponentially. Wake/surf boats can generate wakes that are 10-25 times more powerful than wakes from boats operated on a plane. ( Slide 3 ) 3. The results of scientific studies and recommendations from numerous sources and jurisdictions generally point to a distance of 500 feet or more from shore to reduce safety and erosion risks from wake/surf boats. Distances of 200- 250 feet are clearly not effective. ( Slide 4 ) 4. The best correlation to wake energy and erosion potential is not boat length but rather “boat size”, which is analogous to displacement. Displacement is the key factor in 2018 performance tests of surf boats. 5. Boats operating at transition speed* generate the most damaging wakes. Boats operating below planing speeds include surf boats (8-13 mph), wakeboarding (typically 15-20 mph), and those towing inflatables (15-20 mph). Waterski boats typically operate at high speeds (about 30 mph), on a plane. ( Slide 6 ) 6. Despite their growing popularity, wake/surf boats are a small percentage of watercraft on Kootenai County waterways. Yet they make it nearly impossible for the majority to safely recreate on rivers, smaller lakes and narrower bays on Coeur d’Alene Lake. *Transition speed is any speed between slow-no-wake speed and the speed required for a boat to operate on a plane 1 What Would be a Technically Based, Enforceable Regulatory Approach? There is a straightforward, easy to measure, enforceable approach to regulating excessive boat wakes.
