The Oregon State Marine Board has approved a grant to the South Wasco Parks and Recreation District to repair the south boat ramp at Pine Hollow Reservoir. The announcement was made at Wednesday’s Wasco County Commission meeting. The ramp is currently the only public boating access facility on the reservoir, and a Marine Board staff inspection last summer found it was beginning to fail. The $34,900 grant, with a partial match from the district of $21,500, will replace the upper 75 feet of concrete ramp and extend its life by ten years. County Commissioner Rod Runyon said he hopes this grant will set the stage to receive funding from the Marine Board for the reservoir’s north boat ramp, which collapsed in 2010 and was later condemned due to safety concerns.
