RENO, Nev. (AP) - Lake Tahoe planning officials are scheduled to discuss new boating regulations to protect the lake from environmental damage.

On Wednesday, governors of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency will consider a program designed to offset environmental effects of motorboats cruising the lake.

The program is designed to protect Tahoe from engine emissions and noise, dirty bilges and sewage discharge.

Under the plan, inspectors would determine whether boaters have tuned engines properly to operate at high altitude and that boats with sewage systems will not discharge waste into the lake.

THIS IS BULLCRAP.ALL THE TRPA WANTS IS YOUR MONEY.THEY'RE INSPECTIONS ARE A USELESS JOKE.NOT ONCE HAS A MOTOR BEEN INSPECTED FOR THE GALLONS OF WATER THAT IT HOLDS IN THE BLOCK.FACT-YOU CAN BRING YOUR BARNACLE COVERED BOAT FROM THE OCEAN AND LAUNCH FOR FREE, BUT YOU CAN'T GO TO PYRAMID OR STAMPEDE WITHOUT PAYING OUT THE BILGE. AVERAGE FISHING BOAT (22.5' CRESTLINER W/BAITWELL)WILL NOW COST ABOUT $60 TO LAUNCH PLUS THE COST OF TUNING YOUR BOAT FOR ALTITUDE AND PASSING AN EMISSIONS TEST SAME AS A CAR.THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE PROPERLY IN A MARINA BY $HIGHDOLLAR$ MECHANICS.COMING UP FOR THE WEEKEND? FORGET IT! GOOD LUCK GETTING AN INSPECTION FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR SATURDAY MORNING BY THE TIME YOUR GOOD TO GO IT'S TIME TO LEAVE.AND DON'T STAY OUT ON THE LAKE TO LATE-TRPA WILL LOCK THE GATE AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED.THAT'S RIGHT THERE ARE NOW GATES AT ALL ACCESSES DENYING YOU ENTRY OR EXIT AS THE CASE MAY BE. ALL TO STOP A CRITTER YOU JUST CAN'T STOP.TRPA REEKS OF FASCISM AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED.
