Lake Berryessa to implement fees for vessel decontamination
The Solano County Water Agency’s free vessel decontamination program will end on April 7. … The Bureau of Reclamation announced that, beginning April 7, direct-managed concessions and the Solano County Water Agency will charge for vessel decontaminations for boaters seeking to launch at Lake Berryessa. … “Moving forward, boaters who seek to avoid a 30-day, mandatory quarantine to protect the reservoir from invasive mussels, will need to reach out to either the Solano County Water Agency, Markley Cove Resort, Pleasure Cove Marina, or Putah Canyon Recreation Area to arrange for a vessel decontamination for any motorized vessel or vessel launched from a trailer,” the Bureau of Reclamation announcement states.
