Oakley Municipal Code Art. 3 Restrictions

No person shall swim in any area designated as a "no swimming" area, or outside the boundaries of a marked swimming area, or in a location or in a manner likely to create a condition hazardous to himself or to any other person or object.

No person shall operate any vessel, or ride, pull or tow any aquaplane or water skis, within any designated swimming area or within 20 feet of the exterior boundaries thereof.

No person shall operate any vessel within 500 feet of any dam owned or operated by a public agency, or within any area designated as a "no boating" area by the appropriate regulatory agency, where signs have been erected giving notice of the prohibition.

No person shall operate a motorboat on a lake containing less than 300 surface acres where signs have been erected at intervals of not over 0.25 mile around the lake giving notice of the prohibition.

No person shall load or operate any vessel with passengers or cargo in excess of its safe carrying capacity. A violation of the following standard constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this section. The maximum safe carrying capacity, in pounds, of any rowboat or outboard motorboat, except racing models, is seven and one-half times the product of the length, width and depth (draft plus freeboard) in feet.

No person shall shoot any firearm, or gun operated by spring or compressed gas, from any vessel or across or over any portion of any navigable body of water; but this does not prohibit the otherwise lawful shooting of a shotgun to kill waterfowl.

No person shall operate a vessel, vehicle or other motive power which is pulling or towing any aquaplane or water skier, nor shall any person ride any aquaplane or water skis, between sunset and the following sunrise.

No person shall operate, or permit the operation of, any vessel while anyone is anywhere thereon not designed or intended for use by passengers, nor shall anyone ride in such a manner.
