Re: Lake Oroville Designation As Seaplane Landing Area
Gentlemen:
our organizetion, Fleet One - Area Tvio of t -he North
American Sailing Association, pursuant to a unanimous vote of j
the members in attendance at the last meeting has authorized
the writing of; this letter.
The orgaul zaLion has become aware through newspaper
publicity of what we understand to'be a proposal: to designate
Lake Oroville as a seaplane landing area. our organization
strongly opposes any such de8ignatiori for many xea8i5n8, some "of
which tae will. 11scuss k}' l.ow.
First; by way of introduction# ou.L.organizatzon
consists in excess of thirty-five fam .l.y members hover 110
individual members) who own in excess of 35 sailboats. Frith a
co'up.,"O. or three exceptions Our sailboats are all either

twohty-three or twonty: -sll k feet in length: Most of its sail

Our opposition to the designation of ,ale Orovil�l.e as
a seaplane landing area centers primarily aroundsafety,
Airplanes obviously can land only in the larger center
area of the lake. in spite of the impressive shoreline statis--
12
tics, that center area is not all that large at much of the
lake is in the '+-,hree major and other minor arms of the lake.
(it is much smaller in this dry year when a substantial part of
the lake northeast of the island is out of water.)
The large center area of the lake is also the major
sailing area because or the necessity to have wind to sail.
Sailing becomes very difficult much past Bloomer's Recreation
Area on the northfork or Sycamore Cove on the middl.eforr.
Puethermotek these two areas are usable only as alternatives
depending upon which way the wind is blowing. The southfork is
of little use,
Further, a number of regattas are he -la on take Orov lle
each year including the Golden Feather Regatta conducted by the
lake Oroville 'Yacht Club which is of some import to tyc617rorille
community. Aegattas by their very nature mast be,conducted, in
the center of the lake with the committee boat (starting line)
anchored off the island and or!e leg extending to the darn and
another to the northern shore near Patter's Ravine. Admittedlyt
there is an area left between the island and the Bidwell BZt
bridge, Howeirer, b�ause this stretch of water is opposite tho

Bidwell Recreation Area and the Loaker Creek Recreation Area as
well as the Bidwell MariAa, it is one of the moot heavily
traveled areas in the lake with sai.l.boats, water skiiers and
fishing boats proceeding under the Bidwell Bar bridge"to the
middlefork or the"southfork; to the east side of the lake to
the fishing areas southeast of the island or toward the north-
f ork.
The problems'we see are not without precedent.. This
past year there have been a number of airplanes landing on the
lake which we understand to be iii violation of the Department's
rules (14 California Administrative Code 94304)4s our members
can recount a number of instances of difficulties with aircraf•E
it
ih: this past year. In one instance the ,airplane stopped
(turning its motor off) directly in the path of a sailboat.
When the pilot realized his predicament he was unable to do
anything about it having shut his power off. The sailboat
fortunately was able to change its course in time to avoid a
collision. `
A number of pilots have taken action by,. which., it
appears they have no appreciation whatsoever of what their
propwash can do to 0, sailboat:
Pilots do hot seem 4--O,,be trained in right=of�way and
rules of the road on the water. As matters presently stand,
they do appear to recognize that they have no nights with

Act t
designation, however, will change that. The burden will be
,,+ ed "upon the.-boa piaci p g" public to stay out of the way of a
landing aircraft and' will effectively close off a significant,
" area of the lake, to boating use.
k,
It shouldIbe pointed out that that is not an easy
burden for the boating public to satisfy,. Boat operators,
whether sail or power, whether pulling a water sk ier or fishing,
have lent to look out for
" .. plenty without looking for planes overhead.
.Which may be landing or planes which may be taxiing on takeoff
at a significantly greater speed than normally on-countered with
boats. Furthers o power boat or even a sailboat under power
will find it difficult if not impossible to,,hear the approach

Further, the proposed ,designa.ti:on, through arts

factors must ;be considered, such as, the traditional vise of
an area and the numbers of people who can use art area for
particular recreation or sport activity.. Obviously, our group
represents only a small part of the boating public that uses;
Lake Orovlle. Other groupst such as the Lake Oroville Yacht
Club and the Paradise Branch of the U'45. Power Squadron:, also
represent a significant portion of the boatin5 pu;bli,c. we
have no statistics, however, from 'general observation the
power boats that use Lake Orovil.le fol, fishing, water skiing,
and other recreational activities must number in the hundreds
The current xseage of Lake Oroville by wire of u can ,
we think, be tolerated. if the aircraft recognize the problems
of the boating public and avoid such thingz as landing in the
middle of a , regatta (which we undersand occurred Ehis year)
stopping or taxiing in front of sailing craft (whish have the
tl,ght-of-way over power, craft) and consider the effects of their'
passages such as, ptopwash and wakesif not;, and if fife
pt�oble n grows, we are going to have a tragody upon Lake Orovil.le.
in summary, the landing of aitdtaft upon a lake as
busy wi.t'n boating as Lake Orovil.le is dangerous and the burden
of that danger must remain with the ailydtaft. The air is made
for flying, lxhA water is made fo;;sailing, boating, swims ng
wator skiing, fishing, diving; rowing, canoeing, etc.
We further request notice of any hearing to bt held

NEGATIVE DECL ,RATION
q
The proposed project consists of the establishment of a seaplane landing area
at Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. This proposal will have little impact
on the environment and consists only of adding a new forst of recreation to
the lake's surface. The proposed seaplane use is compatible with other lake
uses and will have no greater impact than the existing recreation uses.
Since there are less than 50 seaplanes tAthin the state, it is anticipated
that the seaplane use will be'Sery light with probably no more than ten
activities per year, During the first year of a trial program, there were
only two activities.
boatsA.resentl usin the lake surface. The wak41greatex degrer: than the pan
Seaplanes will not add to sound pollution to ani
p y g ! of a �teapiane is less than
thAt of most power boats, and the pollution from;oil and,.0t:her engine wastes
will be less than that of power boats: Air pollution would be slightly
increased.
In landing and takeoff, seaplanes have visibilitY and control sufficient to
assure safe operations. Once on the lake's surface,, seaplanes will operate
under the same regulations and with the;;same privileges as boats,.
Air space impact will be slwghtly increased, but no greater, overall, than the
exi5iing impact resulting from the Oroville Air,port,
Seap7-.no. landing will be restricted to a designated area within the main body
of the lake. No additional facilities are prope5sed as a result of this
activity.

Dear Messrs; Prase andIHook
`.Chank. you for your December 2 letter concerning seaplane landing at Lake .
Oroville State Recreation, Area. ''As you may know," a portion of Lake Orovill-
has herrn designa%ed as a temporary seaplane landing area since April of
1974. Our p";:ogram has been to ob nerve activitil�s and their effects with
the intention of either proceeding with a permanent designation or re-
scinding the designation entirely.
During the past 2�, years r, the total: number of landings is estimated to
have been no more than 50 separate instances, an average of le6.-`then two
._
per month. As there are less than 50 seaplanes registered in the state,
1 it is not likely the activity will subs+:anially increase. Bost landings
will, probably be tmade�'by those feta planes Within short flying distances of
Oroville. To date we have had few problems with seaplanes and no other
complaints from other users either sail boaters or power boaters --
regarding interference or creation of hazards.
'jA seaplane operator has the same responsibility as a boater to proceed
i4ithout calking a ha and Whi
