Boating Safety Patrols Required, Minimum Hours: AGENCY agrees to patrol on the waters
of its jurisdiction with the intent of enforcing Washington State Boating Safety Laws and
Regulations and to promote boating safety some minimum hours based on their agency size
(Small — 133, Medium — 255, Large - 436) per year during peak boating hours within AGENCY's
jurisdiction. Patrol hours can be a combination of hours patrolling on the water in a vessel as
well as hours spent at boat launch ramps or other appropriate shore -side enforcement activities.
Enforcement of Boating Laws Required: AGENCY agrees to enforce all Washington State
boating safety laws and regulations including vessel registration laws as specified in Title 88
RCW, and as specified in local codes or ordinances. In addition, AGENCY shall document and

EXHIBIT D
NOTES AND DEFINITIONS
Washington STATE PARKS' Marine Law Enforcement Training Program is accredited through
the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators Boat Operation and Training
(BOAT) Program. As a term of accreditation, STATE PARKS must ensure that all active marine
officers and deputies maintain proficiency in basic recreational boating safety skills. This is
important because these skills are perishable but critical to operate in a marine environment.
STATE PARKS recognizes that there are many different circumstances that could prevent
training from being completed (wildfires, maintenance issues, staffing shortfalls, etc.). Each
circumstance will be evaluated on its own merits.
Approved Program: A marine law enforcement program that has signed an Approved Program
Agreement with Washington State Parks and is in good standing.
Boating Safety Patrol: The total number of hours that all agency vessels patrolled on the
water. These are the actual hours as documented on the patrol vessel hour meter or logbook.
Note that this is different than officer on -water patrol hours. If two officers are patrolling on a
single vessel for eight hours, you would report eight boating safety patrol hours and 16 officer
on -water patrol hours. The patrol hours do not include transit time to the body of water to be
patrolled.
Instructor Qualified Certified Boating Education Instructors: Any officer/deputy designated
as Certified Boating Education Instructors must be listed as Instructor Qualified for the
Adventures in Boating course by the State Parks Education and Outreach Program Manager.
STATE PARKS considers education and outreach activities a key component of preventing
boating injuries and fatalities. Classroom instruction, school presentations, and participation in
Community Events, along with Dealer and Rental site visits, and effective use of media are
crucial to preventing boating accidents and fatalities.
Local Spending: These are funds appropriated by the city or county government used for
boating safety programs. Local funds cannot include state or federal grant dollars.
Peak Boating Hours: STATE PARKS defines peak boating hours as four hours on Friday
afternoon/evening and 8 hours Saturday and Sunday for weekends from Memorial Day to Labor
Day, which equals approximately 332 hours per boating season. STATE PARKS also
recognizes that AGENCY may be impacted by non-traditional Peak Boating seasons due to
hunting and fishing activities. STATE PARKS maintains this patrol hour goal to ensure local
agencies are focused on injury prevention activities. While many agencies patrol many more
Updated 10/1/2021 Page 14 of 24
hours than 332 and many agencies patrol less than 332 hours, the goal to achieve these patrol
hours remains the same. While the patrol hour goal is 332 hours, STATE PARKS has collected
data for patrol hours performed by all participating agencies over a period of years and has
established the average boat log hours for agencies based on jurisdiction population size
according to the U.S. Census. Patrol hours are considered a critical metric. It is used by STATE
PARKS to determine if an agency is complying with the minimum requirements. Failing to
achieve the minimum number of hours of patrol (based on size) could be a factor in determining
ineligibility for vessel registration fees.
RBS Activities: AGENCY is required to report all RBS activities to STATE PARKS on the
Summary of Activity Report (SOAR) web form. RBS Activities include, but are not limited to,
enforcement activities, outreach and education, and administrative support.
Trained: Commissioned officer/deputy trained by the CJTC or equivalent who has attended the
Basic Marine Law Enforcement Course or STATE PARKS approved equivalent and has
maintained currency requirements documented on the BOAT Currency Web Form. AGENCY
must have a trained officer/deputy aboard a vessel in order to use vessel registration fees to
pay either the trained officer or untrained officers/deputies.
Web -enabled Forms: These are forms located on the website http://mle.parks.wa.go,� that are
the official documents used by STATE PARKS in the administration of state vessel registration
fees and federal financial assistance grants. These forms replace paper versions used prior to
CY 2022 and must be used as a condition of ongoing eligibility to receive state vessel
registration fees.
NOTE: Paper inspection forms (Form # A-274) will not be accepted for 2022. SECTOR use is
mandatory for all Approved Programs during normal operations.
