Tahoe Resource Conservation District will again manage the Truckee Area Watercraft Inspection Program for 2012. Entering its third season, Truckee area inspections and boater education on aquatic invasive species will take place at Donner Lake and Boca, Prosser, and Stampede reservoirs from late May through September.

Current funding for Truckee Area watercraft inspections and outreach has been provided by the Truckee River Fund.

Boat inspections are the front line to prevent the introduction of AIS, as boats and other motorized watercraft are the largest vectors for spreading AIS into new water bodies.

Free decontaminations will be available for high risk vessels wishing to launch at Truckee area water bodies. These will occur at Alpine Meadows Transportation Station parking lot, off Highway 89 and Northstar’s Castle Peak parking lot off Highway 267.
