it's primarily recreational anglers, like me and many others on this BB, who are creating this problem.
I would like to see the study. I fish the Kenai a lot and doubt there are 600 boats on it in a given day. Are they saying each boat puts one gallon of fuel in the river? Even if there were 1200 boats on the river they would all have to pump an average of two quarts a day. That seem awfully high to me.

There are a ton of recreational anglers, but if you fly over the lower river you will see hundreds of commercial fishing boats. I suspect they may be significant contributors, as they are large and many are old.

My solution: Inspection of all motors prior to issuing a permit, then if necessary a lottery system to limit the number boats.
