The primary purposes of this effort are as follows: ! To determine the percentage of total state taxes paid to Arizona for motor vehicle fuel that is used for propelling watercraft; and ! To determine the number of days of recreational watercraft use in each of the state's counties by boat use days and person use days. The fuel consumption data is collected to determine the allocation of motor vehicle fuel tax to the State Lake Improvement Fund (SLIF). The information on recreational watercraft usage patterns on Arizona's lakes and rivers is necessary, in part, to determine the distribution of SLIF funds to applicants. In addition to collecting the above mandated information, this study also collected selected attitudinal and behavioral data on the following subjects: ! Water-based and non-water-based recreational activities participated in; ! Boating and water-based recreational facility needs; ! SLIF fund utilization priorities; ! Adequacy and focus of watercraft law enforcement activities; and ! Attitudes about selected watercraft and outdoor recreation issues. The information contained in this report is based on two key study components: ! A statistically valid and projectable telephone survey of 6,828 registered watercraft owners in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah. ! An audit/survey of the fuel sales and consumption patterns of: (1) marinas; (2) public agencies, and (3) concessionaires, commercial boat operators and excursion operators. In addition to the boat owner surveys and the marina, agency and concessionary audits, this study also included a launch ramp survey. The launch ramp survey was conducted to check the ratio of in-state to out-of-state boaters at ten selected Arizona lakes and rivers. 1 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc The methodology utilized on the boat owner segment of this study paralleled the methodology used by BRC in the 1994, 1997, 2000 and 2003 Watercraft Studies. The one exception to this is that unlike the 2003 study, this study included Utah boaters since the State of Utah agreed to release their boat owner database for use in this study. To develop the most accurate data possible, the data collection effort was divided into 24 separate data collection segments spread over the 12-month period from June 21, 2005 to June 8, 2006. Using this format, a total of approximately 564 interviews were conducted each month with one-half being conducted between roughly the 1st and 5th of the month and one-half between roughly the 16th and 20th of the month. During each of the 24 interviewing segments, boaters were asked to recall their boating patterns for only the two weeks prior to the interview. This study was designed and executed under the direction of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of representatives from each sponsoring agency. The Behavior Research Center (BRC) wishes to thank each of the following TAC members for their indispensable assistance in the successful completion of this most important project: ! ! ! John Semmens, ADOT Tanna Thornburg, ASPB Kevin Bergersen, AGFD The information generated from this study is presented in two volumes. VOLUME I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY presents a brief summary review of the key study findings and the methodology employed. VOLUME II - TECHNICAL REPORT presents an in-depth analysis of the study findings and a detailed explanation of the study methodology. The Behavior Research Center has presented all of the data germane to the basic research objectives of the project. However, if the TAC requires additional data retrieval or interpretation, we stand ready to provide such input. BEHAVIOR RESEARCH CENTER 2 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc 2.0 SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS FUEL CONSUMPTION DATA ! Total gasoline used to propel watercraft in the state of Arizona between June 1, 2005 and May 31, 2006 is estimated to be 46,970,760 gallons using Protocol Method Number Two as agreed upon by the agencies in 1991. This total represents 1.7157 percent of the total 2,737,702,381 gallons of taxable gasoline sold in Arizona during the study period. This is the percentage which should be used for the SLIF allocation. WATERCRAFT FUEL CONSUMPTION OF ARIZONA GASOLINE -- GALLONS 1.7157% OF TOTAL GALLONS OF TAXABLE GASOLINE SOLD IN ARIZONA DURING STUDY PERIOD (2,737,702,381) USED IN WATERCRAFT 49,818,445 46,970,760 38,355,518 2006* 2003 2000 * Extrapolated using 1991 ADOT, AGFD and ASPB SLIF Allocation Protocol Method # 2 (see page 40) 3 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc ! The 2006 SLIF allocation of 1.7157 is up from the 2003 percentage of 1.4514. The primary reason for the increase from 2003 is that the percent of boaters who used their watercraft on Arizona lakes and rivers in the prior two weeks increased from 8.0 percent in 2003 to 10.2 percent in 2006. ! The boating classification which continues to account for the largest amount of non-marina consumption is Class 2 (predominantly jet skis) with a reading of 37.8 percent. Among California boaters this class accounts for 56.1 percent of consumption. In Arizona Boat Class 5 (16’ to 25’ inboard and in/out) accounts for 42.2 percent of consumption. ! Gasoline is used to propel 99 percent of all boats, with the remainder utilizing diesel and aviation fuel. ! 94 percent of Arizona boaters purchase Arizona fuel compared to 72 percent of California boaters, 39 percent of Utah boaters, and 19 percent of Nevada boaters. These figures are consistent with those recorded in 2003. ! 90 percent of Arizona boaters purchase their Arizona fuel at a non-marina location compared to 89 percent of California boaters, 88 percent of Nevada boaters, and 70 percent of Utah boaters. USE OF WATERCRAFT IN ARIZONA ! 10.2 percent of registered watercraft owners in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah use their boats in Arizona during any given two week period − up from 8.0 percent in 2003. Among Arizona watercraft owners, usage reaches 16.4 percent − up from 14.1 percent in 2003. ! As might be expected, the Arizona usage figure is above those for the other three states studied with 8.3 percent of California owners, 15.9 percent of Nevada owners, and 2.2 percent of Utah owners indicating use in Arizona during any two-week period. The percentage of California owners using their boats is up from 2003 (5.4%), as is the percentage among Nevada owners (12.9%). ! As noted in the previous studies, while the California use figure may look minimal compared to Arizona's, this is not the case due to the sheer volume of boats registered in California. For example, the California two-week use figure translates into 28,944 California owners using Arizona lakes and rivers (8.3% of 348,725 total owners). The comparable number for Arizona is 31,396 (16.4% of 191,440). 4 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc BOAT USE IN ARIZONA IN ANY GIVEN 2-WEEK PERIOD 20.0% 16.9% 16.4% 15.9% 14.1% 16.0% 12.9% 15.0% 10.2% 10.0% 8.0% 8.9% 8.3% 5.4% 5.7% 4.6% 5.0% 2.2% UNK 0 TOTAL ARIZONA 2006 ! CALIFORNIA 2003 NEVADA UTAH 2000 38.2 percent of all watercraft owners in the four state survey universe utilized their boat in Arizona during the prior year − down from 40.6 percent in 2003. Among Arizona users the figure reaches 57.5 percent compared to 32.7 percent among California owners, 42.6 percent among Nevada owners, and 13.3 percent among Utah owners. 5 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc ! Total boat use days in 2006 were 4,793,501, a 48 percent increase over the 3,229,153 boat use days recorded in 2003. Similar to the prior three studies, Mohave County is the dominant boating location in Arizona with 49.9 percent of total boat use days – up from 40.8 percent in 2003. The study also reveals increased boat use in Maricopa, La Paz, Coconino, Gila and Yuma Counties. BOAT USE DAYS BY ARIZONA COUNTY TOTAL BOAT USE DAYS: '06 = 4,793,501; '03 = 3,229,153; '00 = 4,958,757 2,393,398 1,318,838 2,480,072 MOHAVE 701,931 MARICOPA 650,668 510,469 LA PAZ 624,518 442,158 608,650 412,568 320,626 COCONINO 885,744 302,518 GILA 161,640 161,464 290,325 YUMA ALL OTHERS 216,476 100,090 68,245 118,752 212,268 2006 ! 2003 2000 Person use days also increased from 14,781,894 in 2003 to 23,409,303 in 2006 – a 58 percent increase. As in the case with boat use days, Mohave County is the dominant boating location in Arizona accounting for 52.2 percent of all person use days. 6 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc Arizona boaters account for 47.8 percent of boat use days followed by California boaters with 42.7 percent, Nevada boaters with 5.6 percent and Utah boaters with 3.9 percent. These figures represent increases in boat use days among boaters from Arizona and California since the last study, while boat use days are little changed among Nevada boaters. !

California boaters account for the largest share of person use days. Thus we find that California boaters account for 47.4 percent of person use days followed by 43.7 percent for Arizona boaters, 5.0 percent for Nevada boaters and 3.9 percent for Utah boaters. The primary reason for California’s high percentage is the fact that California boaters tend to have larger boating parties. ! Lake Havasu continues to be the state's most utilized lake in terms of both boat use days (1,324,161) and person use days (6,636,491). 7 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc PERSON USE DAYS BY STATE GIVEN 2-WEEK PERIOD 100.0% 80.0% 53.6% 60.0% 47.4% 43.7% 39.4% 41.3% 39.4% 40.0% 15.6% 20.0% 5.0% 7.0% 3.9% NA 3.7% 0 ARIZONA CALIFORNIA 2006 2003 NEVADA UTAH 2000 ADDITIONAL BOATING DATA ! The average daily expenditure for a boating trip in Arizona is $352 − up from $232 in 2003. The typical Arizona boater spends $184 per day compared to $624 for California boaters, $150 for Nevada boaters, and $600 for Utah boaters. ! Launch ramps (24%) and public restrooms (21%) continue to be the most frequently mentioned needed facilities at boaters' favorite lakes. ! When boaters are asked to evaluate each of 22 specific boating and water-based recreational facilities at their favorite lake, the facility registering the highest net positive reading continues to be paved access roads (+44%). Informational signs receive the next highest net positive reading (+32%), followed by parking facilities for vehicles (28%), campgrounds (+28%), and launching ramps (+27%). Three items register net negative readings from roughly one-quarter of boaters or more: emergency telephones (-29%), drinking water outlets (-28%) and trash dumpsters accessible by boat (-24%). 8 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc Eight percent of boaters are aware of the SLIF program, similar to the nine percent recorded in 2003 and ten percent in 2000. As might be expected, awareness is highest in Arizona with a reading of 12 percent. ! - - - ! When boaters are asked if they feel the program's funds should be used mostly for renovations or new building, a majority of boaters select renovations over new building -- 55 percent vs. 31 percent. This reading for renovation is virtually unchanged from the 2000 and 2003 readings. When boaters are asked how important they feel each of six SLIF funding functions are, four of the functions are rated very or somewhat important by over eight out of ten boaters: 1) the construction of first-aid stations and other safety facilities (88%); 2) the purchasing of law enforcement and safety equipment such as patrol boats, radios and lights (87%); 3) the construction of water-based boating facilities such as marinas, launch ramps and piers (86%); and 4) the construction of recreation support facilities such as restrooms, campgrounds and picnic tables (85%);. These four functions have remained at the top of the importance list over the past three studies. A new question was added to the 2000 study to determine boaters’ preferences for the uses of a new lake, should one be developed. Seven different boating activities were evaluated and, as was the case in 2000 and 2003, four received ratings of very or somewhat important by more than 80 percent of the boaters: 1) general pleasure boating (95%); 2) fishing (91%); 3) water skiing (85%); and 4) power boating (84%). Jet skiing again received the lowest preference rating with 63 percent of boaters offering a very or somewhat important rating. Stopping people who are boating recklessly (52%) and stopping people who are boating while drunk (50%) continue to be the two law enforcement activities which boaters would most like to see increased at their favorite lake or river. Also relating to law enforcement and safety issues at Arizona lakes, roughly three out of four boaters or more agree with the following attitudes: - That hands-on training should be required for boat rental customers (86%). - That boating law violators should be required to take a boating safety class (82%). - That laws and regulations are being adequately enforced (79%). - That the minimum age for boat operators should be 16 years old (73%). ! Eight out of ten boaters (80%) support boating safety educational centers at Arizona lakes – virtually unchanged from 79 percent in 2003. ! A majority of boaters (61%) do not believe their favorite lake is too crowded while 36 percent do. 9 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc ! 55 percent of boaters would support designating special areas for use only by jet skis – down from 60 percent in 2000 and 57 percent in 2003. ! A majority of boaters (51%) believe their favorite lake needs additional developed campgrounds – unchanged from 51 percent in 2003 - and that it needs additional primitive campgrounds (52%) – up from 50 percent in 2003. ! 50 percent of boaters believe their favorite lake needs additional RV hook-ups − up from 46 percent in 2003. ! Boaters continue to be split on whether the launch ramps at their favorite lake are too crowded (49% agree, 47% disagree) and whether the number of people using a lake should be restricted during high use periods (48% agree, 48% disagree). These readings are virtually unchanged since 2003. ! Boaters' top three single favorite boating activities continue to be fishing (30%), general pleasure boating (26%) and water skiing (19%). The water skiing reading has dropped from the top spot in 2000 and 2003. 10 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc 3.0 3.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Introduction To properly address the Departments' informational needs, it was necessary to collect information from a variety of population universes which either consume or sell Arizona fuel or utilize Arizona's lakes and rivers for recreational purposes. The specific universes studied during the course of this project were as follows: Surveyed Universes: ! ! Arizona registered owners; Non-Arizona registered boat owners who utilize Arizona's lakes and rivers; Audited/Surveyed Universes: ! ! ! Concessionaires, commercial boat operators and excursion operators who consume Arizona fuel; Public agencies which consume Arizona fuel; and Marinas servicing Arizona lakes and rivers which sell fuel. The purpose of this section of the report is to address the procedures followed to collect the necessary information from these universes. 3.2 Boat Owner Survey — Sample Selection In order to get an accurate picture of boaters' use of Arizona's lakes and rivers, this project component utilized a very large random sample of 6,828 Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah watercraft owners. A sample of this size is very unusual but was deemed necessary for this project due to its importance. The sample of 6,828 watercraft owners utilized on this project component represents 1.08 percent of the 634,586 owners in the four-state region studied. As an example of how large this 1.08 percent sample of the total universe is, the typical statewide Arizona sample consists of approximately 800 respondents, or .0004 percent of Arizona's estimated 2,211,235 households, while the typical national United States sample consists of 1,500 respondents, or .00001 percent of the United States' estimated 112,267,302 households. The following several pages of this report offer a detailed description on how the boat owner survey was conducted. To determine the percentage of all fuel sold in Arizona attributable to propelling watercraft, it was first necessary to determine the total number of gallons sold to watercraft within the state. To arrive at this figure, the consumption patterns of two distinct user groups were studied: (1) Arizona registered boats for which gasoline is purchased in Arizona, and; (2) non-Arizona registered boats for which gasoline is purchased in Arizona. 11 2002048\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc A total of 634,586 Arizona and non-Arizona registered boat owners stratified by boat class were systematically random-sampled via telephone from current boat registration lists obtained from each state included in the study (Arizona Game and Fish Department, California Department of Motor Vehicles, Nevada Division of Wildlife and Utah Division of Motor Vehicles) to determine their fuel consumption and usage patterns during the study period. These figures were then projected to total boat registrations and the findings presented later in this report were calculated. The nonArizona boaters' sample was drawn from the neighboring California counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego and San Bernardino, the Nevada county of Clark and the state of Utah. As may be seen on the following table, a total of 634,586 watercraft are registered in the sample universe. Of this total, 54.9 percent are located in California while 30.2 percent are located in Arizona, 3.1 percent in Nevada and 11.8 percent in Utah. In addition to the sheer volume of watercraft California contributes to the sample universe several other interesting findings are also worth noting in Table 1: Arizona Watercraft: ! High proportions of watercraft in 4 (16' to 25' outboards). California Watercraft: ! High proportion of class 2 watercraft (under 16’ & in/out which is predominately jet skis). Nevada Watercraft: !

Using this format, a total of approximately 564 interviews were conducted each month (242 Arizona, 242 California, 50 Nevada and 30 Utah) with one-half being conducted between roughly the 1st and 5th of the month and one-half between roughly the 16th and 20th of the month. During each of the 24 interviewing segments, boaters were asked to recall their boating patterns for only the two weeks prior to the interview. At the beginning of this process, an analysis was made of the gasoline consumption variances that existed within each of the nine size/propulsion categories from the 2003 Arizona Watercraft Survey to determine the best method to stratify the current sample of boat owners to optimize sampling accuracy and efficiency. This analysis revealed that certain categories are very homogeneous and thus render relatively small standard deviations, while other classes are very heterogeneous and thus render relatively large standard deviations. This situation called for the use of a disproportional stratified sample in this segment of the study.

Those classes with proportionately larger standard deviations receive a proportionately larger number of cases, while those with proportionately smaller standard deviations receive a proportionately smaller number of cases. In essence, this sampling method allows us to select fewer cases from homogeneous classes and more cases from heterogeneous classes, thereby increasing overall sampling efficiency and accuracy. As a result, the final gasoline consumption estimates are sensitive to variations in consumption within the size/propulsion classes, thereby increasing the accuracy of the final estimate. In addition, this methodology meets the contractrequired minimum of a margin of error of less than five percent at a 95 percent confidence level. 14 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc TABLE 2: TOTAL SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION BOAT CLASS LENGTH PROPULSION AVG.

This distribution is similar to the 2000 study, in that it does not exactly reflect the Boat Use Days distribution derived from the prior Watercraft Survey. This distribution was used because it allows for more sensitive county use data (since few Californians use any Arizona lakes except those adjacent to the Colorado River) without harming the ability to estimate the required fuel consumption data.

The question areas were as follows: Watercraft Use: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Number of days watercraft used (prior 2 weeks, annually) Reasons for non-use Specific Arizona lakes and rivers visited (prior 2 weeks, prior 12 months) Number of boating trips made (prior 2 weeks) Presence of boat engine Horsepower of boat engine Types of fuel used Average daily fuel consumption Types of vendors from which fuel purchased Percent of fuel purchased in Arizona Destination Information: ! ! Most frequently visited lakes or rivers Average dollar amount spent on typical boating trip Recreational Use Data: ! ! Boating activities engaged in during the recreation day Number of people per boating party on a typical outing Boater Opinion: ! ! ! ! ! ! Types of boating and water-based recreational facilities needed at lake or river most often visited Evaluation of water-based recreation facilities at lake or river most often visited Adequacy of boating law enforcement and the safety and education programs at lake or river most often visited Awareness of State Lake Improvement Fund (SLIF) SLIF program funding priorities General attitudes on selected boating issues After approval of the preliminary draft questionnaire, it was pre-tested with a randomly selected cross-section of watercraft owners. The pre-test focused on the value and understandability of the questions, adequacy of response categories, questions for which probes were necessary and the like. Several minor changes were made following the pre-test and the final form received TAC approval. This survey utilized a "split" sample methodology. Using this methodology, selected survey questions were designated core questions and asked of all survey respondents while other survey questions were asked of only one-third of the survey respondents. This methodology is commonly used when the volume of information desired is particularly extensive and the number of interviews to be conducted is of adequate size to justify splitting. Questions 1 through 17a were designated core questions for the purpose of this survey and asked of all study respondents. The remaining questions were asked of approximately one-third of the study respondents. 17 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc 3.4 Boat Owner Survey -- Data Collection All of the interviewing on this project was conducted at BRC's Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) facility in Phoenix where each interviewer worked under the direct supervision of BRC supervisory personnel. All of the interviewers who worked on this project were professional interviewers of the Center. Each had prior experience with BRC and received a thorough briefing on the particulars of this study. During the briefing, the interviewers were trained on (a) the purpose of the study, (b) sampling procedures, (c) administration of the questionnaire, and; (d) other project related factors. In addition, each interviewer completed a set of practice interviews to assure that all procedures were understood and followed. As noted earlier, telephone interviewing on this study was conducted during 24 two-week time segments starting in June 2005 and ending in June 2006. During each segment, interviewing was restricted to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in order to avoid those days (Friday through Monday) on which the target universe (boat owners) was most likely to be away from home using their watercraft. Further, during the interviewing segment of this study, up to four separate attempts, on different days and during different times of day, were made to contact each selected boat owner. Only after four unsuccessful attempts was a selected boat owner substituted in the sample. Using this methodology, the full sample was completed and partially completed were not accepted or counted toward fulfillment of the total sample quotas. One hundred percent of the completed interviews were edited and any containing errors were pulled and the errors corrected. In addition, 15 percent of each interviewer's work was randomly selected for validation to ensure its authenticity and correctness. No problems were encountered during this phase of interviewing quality control. As the data collection segment of this study was being undertaken, completed and validated interviews were turned over to BRC's in-house coding department. The coding department edited, validated and coded the interviews. Each interview that received final coding department approval was then transferred to the BRC computer department where a series of validity and logic checks were run on the data to insure it was "clean." The final step prior to running computer analysis of the survey data was to "weight" the data to reflect the actual distribution of watercraft found in the sample universe as revealed earlier in Table 1. This weighted data was only used in analyzing the attitudinal data collected in the survey, not in calculating the fuel consumption and boat use data. 3.5 Study Audits/Survey The second major data collection component on this project consisted of conducting audits of: (1) concessionaires, commercial boat operators and excursion operators; (2) government agencies, and; (3) marinas. 18 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc Each of these groups were audited/surveyed to collect the following information: ! Concessionaires, Commercial Boat Operators and Excursion Operators: To determine the amount of non-marina, Arizona gasoline they purchased. ! Government Agencies: To determine the amount of non-marina, Arizona gasoline subject to tax they purchased. ! Marinas: To determine the amount of gasoline purchased from Arizona distributors they sold. In order to conduct these audits/surveys, it was first necessary to generate lists of each subject group. This was accomplished: (a) by using the lists compiled in previous Watercraft Surveys; (b) by reviewing telephone and Internet directories from around the state; (c) by reviewing AGFD's watercraft registration data base; (d) through discussions with selected chambers of commerce; (e) by referrals from other operators, agencies and marinas, and; (f) through discussions with AGFD Regional Supervisors. All those on the identified lists were mailed a self-administered questionnaire along with a postage-paid, return mail envelope. Respondents were given approximately two weeks to respond to the mailing before follow-up telephone contact was undertaken and continued until a response was achieved. The audit/survey forms utilized during this study component are included in Appendix B of this report.

The ten lakes and rivers selected for inclusion into this study phase were chosen by the TAC and included the inland and border waterways listed below. A total of six observations were conducted at each site during the peak launching hours from 6:00 a.m. and noon. The six observations were distributed so they covered the following time periods: 1) two weekday observations (one in the on-season, one in the off-season); 2) three weekend observations (two in the on-season, one in the off-season), and; 3) one holiday observation (Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Labor Day).

Looking first at use during the prior two weeks, we find that 10.2 percent of registered watercraft owners in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah use their boats during any given two week period − up from 8.0 percent in 2003. Among Arizona watercraft owners, usage reaches 16.4 percent, which is above the 14.1 percent recorded in 2003. The Arizona usage figure is above those for the other three states studied with 8.3 percent of California owners, 15.9 percent of Nevada owners and 2.2 percent of Utah owners indicating use in Arizona during any two-week period. The percentage of California owners using their boats in Arizona is up from 2003 (5.4%) as is the percentage among Nevada owners (12.9%). As noted in the previous studies, while the California use figure may look minimal compared to Arizona's, this is not the case due to the sheer volume of boats registered in California. For example, the California two-week use figure translates into 28,944 California owners using Arizona lakes and rivers (8.3% of 348,725 total owners). The comparable number for Arizona is 31,396 (16.4% of 191,440). Looking next at the 12-month figures, we find that 38.2 percent of all watercraft owners in the four state survey universe utilized their boat in Arizona during the prior year, which is down from 40.6 percent in 2003. Among Arizona users, the figure reaches 57.5 percent compared to 32.7 percent among California owners, 42.6 percent among Nevada owners and 13.3 percent among Utah owners. 21 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc TABLE 6: WATERCRAFT USE ON ARIZONA LAKE AND RIVERS -- PAST 2 WEEKS/PAST 12 MONTHS "To start, was your boat used on Arizona lakes and rivers, including the Colorado River, during the (FIRST/LAST) two weeks of (MONTH)?"

Gasoline is used to propel approximately 99 percent of all boats, with the remainder utilizing diesel and aviation fuel. ! 94 percent of Arizona boaters purchase Arizona fuel compared to 72 percent of California boaters, 39 percent of Utah boaters and 19 percent of Nevada boaters. These figures are consistent with those recorded in the 2003 Survey. ! 90 percent of Arizona boaters purchase their Arizona fuel at a non-marina location compared to 89 percent of California boaters, 88 percent of Nevada boaters and 70 percent of Utah boaters. Marina purchasing reaches its highest level among Utah boaters (30%). ! The typical Arizona boater who utilized their boat in the prior two weeks purchased 43.0 gallons of Arizona fuel, while the typical California boater purchased 36.0 gallons, the typical Utah boater 34.5 gallons and the typical Nevada boater 7.8 gallons. These figures represent a sizeable increase of 6.6 gallons among Arizona boaters since 2003. California boaters reveal a decrease of only .7 gallons over the same period while Nevada boaters reveal a decrease of 7.4 gallons. 26 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc TABLE 9: FUEL CONSUMPTION PATTERNS AMONG BOATERS UTILIZING WATERCRAFT IN ARIZONA DURING PRECEDING 2-WEEK PERIOD STATE OF REGISTRATION – 2005 Arizona California Nevada Utah Type of fuel used Gasoline Other 98.9% 1.1 100.0% 99.1% .9 100.0% 97.8% 2.2 100.0% 100.0% 0.0 100.0% 93.6 95.1 89.8 72.2 72.8 83.6 19.0 21.6 42.0 38.9 NA 45.9 90.1% 9.9 100.0% 88.6% 11.4 100.0% 88.0% 12.0 100.0% 70.0% 30.0 100.0% 43.0 36.4 40.9 36.0 36.7 42.1 7.8 15.2 15.9 34.5 NA 32.4 38.7 32.2 36.0 31.9 31.2 36.2 6.9 10.5 11.6 24.2 NA 22.9 4.3 4.2 4.9 4.1 5.5 5.9 .9 4.7 4.3 10.3 NA 9.5 Percent of fuel purchased in Arizona 2006 2003 2000 Location Arizona fuel purchased Non-Marina Marina Arizona purchased gallons used preceding 2-week period -- Mean 2006 2003 2000 Non-marina, Arizona purchased gallons used preceding 2-week period -- Mean 2006 2003 2000 Marina, Arizona purchased gallons used preceding 2-week period – Mean 2006 2003 2000 Tables 10 through 19 present the gasoline consumption figures based on the results of the boat owner survey.

A total of 51,943,296 gallons of non-marina Arizona gasoline was purchased to propel boats during the study period. This figure represents a 72.1 percent increase over the 30,176,496 gallons recorded during the 2003 study which do not include Utah gallons. When the 928,152 2006 Utah gallons are added to the 2003 to 2006 comparison, the increase is 69.1 percent. The primary reason for this significant increase in non-marina gasoline purchasing by boaters is that the percent of boaters who used their watercraft on Arizona lakes and rivers in the prior two weeks increased sharply from 8.0 percent in 2003 to 10.2 percent in 2006. Additionally, the number of boats registered in Arizona, California and Nevada increased by nearly three percent between 2003 and 2006. Perhaps the best explanations for the increase in consumption from the prior study goes back to the United States' economy woes and Arizona's continuing drought during the period the 2003 survey was conducted. ! Total Arizona fuel consumption (non-marina plus marina) increases sharply in 2006 over 2003 within the key two states participating in the surveys: - Arizona consumption increased 88.6 percent – from 17,354,808 to 32,213,736. - California consumption increased 43.7 percent – from 17,424,192 to 25,034,352. ! The boating classification which continues to account for the largest amount of non-marina consumption is Class 2 (predominantly jet skis) with a reading of 37.8 percent. Among California boaters this class accounts for 56.1 percent of consumption. In Arizona Boat Class 5 (16’ to 25’ inboard and in/out) accounts for 42.2 percent of consumption. ! The total number of gallons of Arizona gasoline, both marina and nonmarina, purchased during the study period is 59,313,312 gallons -- up sharply from 35,859,216 gallons in 2003 (excluding Utah gallons). 29 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc TABLE 10: WATERCRAFT FUEL CONSUMPTION OF ARIZONA, NON-MARINA GASOLINE (BOAT OWNER SURVEY) BOAT CLASS TOTAL ARIZONA CALIFORNIA NEVADA

In 1991 ADOT, AGFD and ASPB signed an agreement (see Appendix) that established a protocol on how the SLIF allocation percentage was to be calculated in the later surveys. The specifics of this protocol are as follows: Variables (In gallons) A B C D E = = = = = Boaters' reports of marina fuel purchases Marinas' reports of fuel sales Boaters' reports of non-marina fuel purchases Commercial and government reports of watercraft fuel purchases Total statewide gasoline sales on which Arizona tax was paid Step 1: Compare Variables A and B. ! !

Method #1: (A + C + D) ÷ E = SLIF Percentage Method #2: ([B + D + (C x B/A)] ÷ E) x 1.25 = SLIF Percentage As required by the protocol, the first step in calculating the SLIF allocation percentage is to compare the fuel estimates from the boater survey and the marina audits/surveys. This step indicates that the variation is 1.63. MARINA FUEL SALES ESTIMATES 20052006 20022003 19992000 A. Marina Purchasing Estimate From Boat Owner Survey 7,370,016 5,682,720 6,324,912 B.

Watercraft usage in this section is calculated and presented using two different data sets. The first data set is based on lake utilization during the two weeks prior to being interviewed and is identical to the format followed since the 1994 Watercraft Survey. The second data set is based on lake utilization during the 12 months prior to being interviewed and excludes any boater who utilized their boats in the two weeks prior to being interviewed. This data set was first included in the 2000 Watercraft Survey at the request of the Arizona State Parks Board in order to get a broader representation of lake/river use in Arizona. This process again proved successful in that 59 lakes/rivers are represented when the data is calculated using the 12 month data set compared to only 35 when the two week data set is used. 6.1 Two Week Data Set The total number of days of use for each lake by boat class was obtained by summing days of use for all respondents in the sample for each class at each lake. In order to assure that each boat class was proportionately represented in the final calculation of boat usage at each lake, the total number of boats in a class was divided by the total number of respondents in each class. As a result of this division, a survey sample factor was generated for each class. Sample Factor = Boats in Class 1 Survey Respondents in Class 1 = 39,525 578 = 68.38 Days of usage at each lake or river from each boat class were then multiplied by the respective class sample factor and number of study segments (24) to obtain the total usage days for the lake or river for the respective class. By aggregating the calculated usage days over all classes, the total boat usage for each lake was determined. Sample Use Days by Boat Class at Each Lake Sample Factor X X Study Segments = Boat Use Days at Each Lake Person use days for each lake were then calculated by multiplying the boat use days at each lake by the average boating party size for that lake. Boat Use Days at Each Lake X Mean Party Size at Each Lake 42 = Person Use Days at Each Lake 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc TABLE 21: SURVEY SAMPLE FACTOR BOAT CLASS TOTAL BOATS IN CLASS RESPONDENTS IN CLASS SAMPLE FACTOR ARIZONA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 39,525 38,513 605 45,568 56,306 1,423 2,350 6,910 240 578 583 25 653 808 73 74 121 24 68.38 66.06 24.20 69.78 69.69 19.49 31.76 57.11 10.00 CALIFORNIA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 54,391 118,189 14,615 43,018 95,053 9,900 1,227 8,531 3,801 434 941 193 337 676 120 24 96 96 125.33 125.60 75.73 127.65 140.61 82.50 51.13 88.87 39.59 NEVADA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2,606 4,748 21 2,896 7,495 155 267 1,302 61 73 145 0 73 196 25 24 49 24 35.70 32.75 0 39.67 38.24 6.20 11.13 26.57 2.54 48 50 24 48 96 24 25 24 24 304.75 296.20 17.38 272.35 292.58 30.00 39.92 84.21 4.79 UTAH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 14,628 14,810 417 13,073 28,088 720 998 2,021 115 43 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master WITH CHARTS 2006.doc The next two tables provide summaries of boat use days (Table 22) and person use days (Table 23). Looking first at boat use days, we find that total boat use days in 2006 were 4,793,501, a 48 percent increase from the 3,229,153 boat use days recorded in 2003. Similar to the prior studies, Mohave County is the dominant boating location in Arizona with 49.9 percent of total boat use days – a figure which is up from the 40.8 percent recorded in 2003. Also note the increased boat use in Maricopa, La Paz, Coconino, Gila, and Yuma counties.

The following key findings are evident in these tables: ! Arizona boaters account for 47.8 percent of boat use days followed by California boaters with 42.7 percent, Nevada boaters with 5.6 percent and Utah boaters with 3.9 percent. These figures represent increased boat use days among boaters from Arizona and California since the last study while boat use days are little changed among Nevada boaters. ! California boaters account for the largest share of person use days. Thus we find that California boaters account for 47.4 percent of person use days followed by 43.7 percent for Arizona boaters, 5.0 percent for Nevada boaters and 3.9 percent for Utah boaters. As in the prior studies, the primary reason for California’s high percentage is the fact that California boaters tend to have very large boating parties.

As may be seen on Table 42, for nine of the ten lakes surveyed, the launch ramp survey findings parallel the findings generated in the boat owner survey. Only at Lake Mead are the findings quite different between the two surveys: At Lake Mead, the "other" state readings are very different with figures of 16 percent from the launch ramp survey and 58 percent from the boat owner survey. As in prior studies, the main reason for this difference is that the launch ramp survey at Lake Mead was conducted at Temple Bar in Arizona and the vast majority of Nevada residents who utilize the lake launch at one of three Nevada-based sites. Thus, while Nevada residents make heavy use of Lake Mead, they do not show up in the launch ramp counts. 81 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master With Charts 2006.doc TABLE 42: LAKE USE BY STATE OF RESIDENCE -- LAUNCH RAMP SURVEY LAKE/RIVER Bartlett STUDY ARIZONA 1 CALIFORNIA OTHER Ramp Survey 100% 100 Havasu Ramp Survey 40 45 57 54 3 1 Martinez Ramp Survey 27 11 73 89 * 0 Mead Ramp Survey 22 10 62 32 16 58 Mohave Ramp Survey 18 24 74 71 8 5 Parker Strip Ramp Survey 23 29 76 71 1 0 Pleasant Ramp Survey 93 96 4 3 3 1 Powell Ramp Survey 42 53 23 13 35 34 Roosevelt Ramp Survey 98 100 1 0 1 0 Saguaro Ramp Survey 98 98 1 2 1 0 2 0% 0 3 0% 0 1 Boat distribution from launch ramp survey Boat use days from boat owner survey 3 Other from boat survey only includes Nevada and Utah while other from launch ramp survey may include any state observed. * Indicates % less than .5 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 82 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master With Charts 2006.doc 8.0 ADDITIONAL BOATING DATA This final section of the report presents a variety of attitudinal and behavioral data regarding boat usage. When reading this section, keep in mind that all of the data presented has been computer weighted so that each state and boat classification properly represents its proportional contribution to overall boat registrations in the four-state sample universe. 8.1 Trip Expenditures The average expenditure for a boating trip in Arizona is $352 – up from $232 in 2003. The typical Arizona boater spends $184 per trip compared to $624 for California boaters, $150 for Nevada boaters and $600 for Utah boaters. The greatest increase in any individual category between 2003 and 2006 is in the one containing gasoline which increased from $66 to $124.

Response to these two questions was very similar so they were combined on the following table for analysis. As may be seen, launch ramps (24%) and public restrooms (21%) continue to receive the greatest mention from boaters. Also receiving sizeable response are increased law enforcement (11%), marinas (11%), gas stations (10%) and concessions that sell food, drinks, tackle and the like (9%). One out of three boaters (31%) indicate there are no additional facilities or services needed at their favorite lake.

As Table 45 reveals, the facility registering the highest net positive reading continues to be paved access roads (+44%). Informational signs receives the next highest net positive reading (+32%), followed by parking facilities for vehicles (+28%), campgrounds (+28%), launching ramps (+27%), picnic areas and facilities (+25%), and parking facilities for boat trailers (+24%). Three items continue to register net negative readings from roughly one-quarter of boaters or more: emergency telephones (-29%), drinking water outlets (-28%) and trash dumpsters accessible by boat (-24%). Listed below are the items that showed the greatest change – either positive or negative – since the last survey in 2003. Overall, improved readings are recorded on 11 items while lower readings are also recorded on 11. LARGEST POSITIVE CHANGES ! ! ! Campgrounds – five-point net improvement; Boat gas docks – five-point net improvement; Fish cleaning stations – five-point net improvement. LARGEST NEGATIVE CHANGES ! ! ! Concessions – six-point net decline. Campsites accessible by boat only – six-point net decline. First aid stations – six-point net decline. 85 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master With Charts 2006.doc TABLE 45: EVALUATION OF WATER-BASED RECREATION FACILITIES "Now I'd like to read you a list of various boating and water-based recreational facilities.

As Table 48 reveals, four of the six functions continue to receive very or somewhat important readings from over eight out of ten boaters. ! The construction of first-aid stations and other safety facilities (88%); ! The purchasing of law enforcement and safety equipment such as patrol boats, radios and lights (87%); ! The construction of water-based boating facilities such as marinas, launch ramps and piers (86%); ! The construction of recreation support facilities such as restrooms, campgrounds and picnic tables (85%). The remaining two functions – purchasing shoreline property (72%) and the development of new lakes for boating (75%) – are considered to be somewhat less important, but still are considered very or somewhat important by over seven in ten residents. These readings are virtually unchanged from the prior studies. 88 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master With Charts 2006.doc TABLE 48: UTILIZATION OF SLIF FUNDS "The SLIF program is funded with revenues from boat registration fees and motor fuel taxes and there are six water-based boating functions for which these funds might be used.

By nearly a two-to-one margin, boaters prefer renovation over new building (55% vs. 31%). This reading for renovation is virtually unchanged from the 2000 and 2003 reading. 89 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master With Charts 2006.doc TABLE 49: SLIF FUNDING PRIORITIES "And if you had a choice, would you prefer to see the SLIF program fund the renovation of deteriorating facilities or the building of new facilities?"

Seven different boating activities were evaluated and, as was the case in 2000 and 2003, four received ratings of very or somewhat important by more than 80 percent of the boaters. - General pleasure boating (95%); Fishing (91%); Water skiing (85%); Power boating (84%). Jet skiing again received the lowest preference rating with 63 percent of boaters offering a very or somewhat important rating – up from 55 percent in 2000 and 59 percent in 2003.

This line of questioning indicates that roughly three out of four boaters or more agree with the following attitudes: ! That hands-on training should be required for boat rental customers: 86 percent. ! That boating law violators should be required to take a boating safety class: 82 percent. ! That laws and regulations are being adequately enforced: 79 percent. ! That the minimum age for boat operators should be 16 years of age: 73 percent. The data also reveals that boaters are split on whether or not operators should be required to complete a mandatory class prior to operating a motorized watercraft (56% agree, 42% disagree), while less than four out of ten believe operators should be required to obtain a license similar to that required to drive a car (38% agree, 60% disagree), that all occupants should be required to wear a life jacket (23% agree, 76% disagree), or that they often experience conflicts with others at their favorite lake (17% agree, 82% disagree). 93 2005061\RPT Watercraft Master With Charts 2006.doc TABLE 53: ATTITUDES ON SELECTED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SAFETY ISSUES "Next, do you strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with each of the following statements?"
