 DAILY BOAT LAUNCH LIMITS 



Seasons of use, 1st fishing, float & fish, and second fishing are strictly names of periods of time 

 and do not limit activities. The names were chosen to indicate the primary activities occurring 

 during the period. 



These management limits will be managed within the following constraints: 



- Limit the number of outfitter companies to no more than 10. 



- The number of launches available (per chart above) will be divided between companies as 

 defined in their prospectus response and by the selection panel. 



There is no plan to limit the number of private launches with this alternative. Private launches 

 will be controlled by the number of people on each section of the River at one time. These 

 numbers will fluctuate dauly depending on whether the visitors choose to hike the trails, 

 walk/wade fish, float, or boat fish. 



3. Safety Requirements of this Alternative (FS and BLM) 



Use of watercraft that are not designed and recommended by the manufacturer for white water 

 use will not be allowed in Section A. Those watercraft that are allowed on will be required to 

 have an extra oar, paddle or flipper attached to the craft. Elimination of this type of watercraft 

 from Section A is a Forest Service decision which will be implemented 60 days following the 

 signing of this document if this alternative is selected for implementation. 



Use of watercraft that are guided and propelled by fins on the operators feet, unless specifically 

 designed and recommended for white water use (Belly Boats, Float Tubes, Water Otters, etc.), 

 will be limited to Section B and Section C. Operators of these craft will be required to have 

 flippers on their feet to assure proper control. There will be an additional requirement of having 

 a spare flipper attached to the craft. This will assure proper operations if an accident occurs 

 where a flipper is lost. In Section B, users of this type of craft will be required to walk around 

 the Red Creek Rapid. 



All other inflatable craft will be required to have three chambers or more as part of the craft 

 design for use in Sections A and B. Additional chambers will not be allowed to be attached to
