California Quagga / Zebra Mussel Issue Tracking
By Rob Belloni
March 29, 2008
Last updated: 3/29/08 - 3:30pm
The latest news on quagga and zebra mussel issues in California...
---SCUTTLEBUTT---
The big news has been at Clear Lake and at Lake Cachuma.
No closure news has surfaced since Casitas.
---News---
March 25, 2008
- The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted to enact inspection and cleaning measures at Lake Cachuma. The rules are quoted below. The lake reopened Friday March 28th. There is no word as to what constitutes being "near an infected lake":
•
ALL boats and trailers must be CLEAN and DRY upon entry to Cachuma Lake.
• ALL DRAIN PLUGS must be removed prior to boat transport that day.
• ALL boats longer than 24 feet will be quarantined on-site for 14 days before launch.
• ALL out-of-state boats will be quarantined on-site for 14 days before launch.
• ALL California boats with registration addresses near known infected lakes will be
quarantined on-site for 14 days before being allowed to launch.
• ALL boats and trailers will be thoroughly inspected and treated by hot water pressure
wash after first passing the visual inspection and quarantine requirements.
• Boat Launch Tags will be available for boat owners who wish to remove their boats
from the lake and who do not plan to use their boats elsewhere prior to returning to
Cachuma Lake. The tags will be applied to boats and trailers upon exiting the lake.
• Sign Affidavit upon entry to Cachuma Lake County Park stating where boat was most
recently used and whether or not in waters already infested by the invasive mussels.

- The Lake County Board of Supervisors voted on a number of measures to implement inspections and cleaning procedures at Clear Lake. Four wash down stations are expected to be purchased in the near future. Exact details of where and how boats will be inspected and marked are to be determined but it appears that the Board of Supervisors is acting fast.
With the large volume of boats that travel to Clear Lake from around the country, we can only wonder if the lake already has the mussels. The good news is that the folks in Lake County care a great deal about the resource up at Clear Lake and are likely to be recreation friendly in their approach.
