    Sec. 1506.  RCW 88.12.295 and 1989 c 393 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

    The legislature finds that the waters of Washington state provide a unique and valuable recreational resource to large and growing numbers of boaters.  Proper stewardship of, and respect for, these waters requires that, while enjoying them for their scenic and recreational benefits, boaters must exercise care to assure that such activities do not contribute to the despoliation of these waters, and that watercraft be operated in a safe and responsible manner.  The legislature has specifically addressed the topic of access to clean and safe waterways by requiring the 1987 boating safety study and by establishing the Puget Sound ((water quality authority)) action team.

    The legislature finds that there is a need to educate Washington's boating community about safe and responsible actions on our waters and to increase the level and visibility of the enforcement of boating laws.  To address the incidence of fatalities and injuries due to recreational boating on our state's waters, local and state efforts directed towards safe boating must be stimulated.  To provide for safe waterways and public enjoyment, portions of the watercraft excise tax and boat registration fees should be made available for boating safety and other boating recreation purposes.

    In recognition of the need for clean waterways, and in keeping with the Puget Sound action team's water quality ((authority's 1987 management)) work plan, the legislature finds that adequate opportunities for responsible disposal of boat sewage must be made available.  There is hereby established a five-year initiative to install sewage pumpout or sewage dump stations at appropriate marinas.

    To assure the use of these sewage facilities, a boater environmental education program must accompany the five-year initiative and continue to educate boaters about boat wastes and aquatic resources.

    The legislature also finds that, in light of the increasing numbers of boaters utilizing state waterways, a program to acquire and develop sufficient waterway access facilities for boaters must be undertaken.

    To support boating safety, environmental protection and education, and public access to our waterways, the legislature declares that a portion of the income from boating-related activities, as specified in RCW 82.49.030 and 88.02.040, should support these efforts.

 

    Sec. 1507.  RCW 88.12.305 and 1994 c 264 s 81 are each amended to read as follows:

    The commission, in consultation with the departments of ecology, fish and wildlife, natural resources, social and health services, and the Puget Sound ((water quality authority)) action team shall conduct a literature search and analyze pertinent studies to identify areas which are polluted or environmentally sensitive within the state's waters.  Based on this review the commission shall designate appropriate areas as polluted or environmentally sensitive, for the purposes of chapter 393, Laws of 1989 only.

 

    Sec. 1508.  RCW 88.12.365 and 1993 c 244 s 36 are each amended to read as follows:
