Intergovernmental Agreement minimum number of hours per year. See the note below. Minimum Patrol Hour Goals Based on Agency Size • Small agencies- 133 hours • Medium agencies-255 hours • Large agencies-436 hours NOTE: State Parks recognizes that Washington State experiences a diverse boating season.Various areas of the state have increased boating activities due to recreation fishing, hunting and pleasure crafting. Because of its diverse landscapes and seasons, State Parks acknowledges that the traditional peak boating season remains during the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day but is not exclusive to that time frame. State Parks has collected data for patrol hours performed by all participating 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 can be a combination of Boat Log and Ramp- side hours. Patrol hours is 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.
