RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
There are 17 waterbodies that have been zoned by the Board of Parks and Recreation. Many have been in effect for a number of years. Recently, the agency contacted park managers from each of these zoned areas to see if the zoning was still applicable. Two responded with minor changes. The original rule only prohibited waterskiing in Wallsburg Bay.
Summary of the rule or change:
For many years Deer Creek State Park has installed wakeless buoys which prohibit any activity above a wakeless speed in the bay. That portion of the lake is narrow and congested, so a wakeless area has been managed by the park as a safety precaution. A rule change is needed to accurately reflect the current management of that part of the lake.
