Anyone have a link for the PWC ban in San Juan County?

Anyone have a link for the Personal Watercraft ban in San Juan County? All the links I have tried have broken or outdated URL's. I'd like to read the text of the ban in full.

No link, but I was sure happy to not have to listen to those things all summer long.....

One of my buddies sent me a link for the law awhile back. It was a good read.

So that just covers extreme low water to ordinary high water, correct?  Not arguing for their use, just like to understand who has jurisdiction over what.

10.28.110 Restrictions on the use of personal watercraft on freshwater lakes.
Personal watercraft shall not be operated in San Juan County on fresh water lakes with public access, which are: Sportsman Lake, Hummel Lake, Mountain Lake, Cascade Lake, Egg Lake and Killebrew Lake. (Ord. 7-1998 § 4)

10.28.120 Restrictions on the use of personal watercraft on the marine waters of San Juan County.
Personal watercraft shall not be operated on the marine waters of San Juan County.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to:

A. A personal watercraft engaged principally in commercial operations constituting an act of interstate or foreign commerce and so long as during such the personal watercraft is operated along the most direct route practicable;

B. A personal watercraft operating under a permit issued by the United States Coast Guard;

C. A personal watercraft operating under a permit issued by San Juan County;

D. For emergency purposes when there is reasonable belief that such use is necessary to protect or preserve persons, animals or property. (Ord. 7-1998 § 5)


It reads to me like they're banned on those specific lakes and in all salt water in San Juan County.

Should be a crime to even manufacture the damn things.  I'm sure its a sin at least.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time on them growing up on a river in the south. Used to fish off them a bit but not real successfully. They do have those guys outfitting them for fishing now. Some of the dudes that run double digit miles offshore on them are insane.
