Document Description
The County of Lake seeks additional grant funding from the State for continued operation of the Quagga/Zebra Mussel Prevention Implementation Program (Project). The project will continue to improve the current Lake County Invasive Mussel Prevention Plan by funding another two years of boat ramp monitors, provide education, and improve local and state law compliance with persons recreating on Clear Lake. The project will also improve mussel prevention outreach and education via digital, radio, and social media outlets. Lastly, the project will complete the transition and continue maintenance of the digital screening and monitoring of boaters to improve inspection processes. These technologies allow Lake County to connect, in real-time, with other AIS managers using digital systems to track incoming vessels, enhancing our ability to successfully detect a potential mussel introduction more effectively. This project does not involve any construction, building, or alteration of natural features, biological, cultural or tribal cultural resources, and does not include the use of hazardous materials; this is strictly an outreach and education project.
