8 DRAFT AIS PREVENTION PLAN FOR LAKE GEORGE

9 Invasive Species Prevention Plan What did we learn? Risk: Regional AIS Sources Macrophytes Small-bodied Organisms Vector: Trailered Boats 100 Launch Sites Clean, Drained, Dry

10 10

11 Invasive Species Prevention Plan How do we keep new invasives out of Lake George? Alternatives: Voluntary Compliance Self-Certification Mandatory Inspections Mandatory Inspection With after-hours self-certification Registration of Non-motorized boats

12 EDUCATION & OUTREACH Promote AIS Awareness Rack Cards to local businesses, marinas, municipalities, boat registrants ProtectLakeGeorge.com LGPC Website Media and Marketing outreach Public Presentations

13 VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE Education & Outreach Lake Stewards Exterior Visual Inspection 6+ launches Time: May-Mid September Marine Patrol Cost: $ k/year

14 SELF-CERTIFICATION Program Description Education & Outreach Online Training & Certification Program Boater Certifies C-D-D Enforcement Increased officer presence Penalties Cost $50K-75K Startup $150K-300k/year

15 MANDATORY INSPECTION Trailered boats only Standard: clean, drained, dry (CDD) Decontamination if not clean, drained, dry Time: April-December 12 hours/day Cost: $ K/year

16 MANDATORY BOAT INSPECTION WITH AFTER-HOURS SELF-CERTIFICATION Mandatory: C-D-D Daytime Self-Certification: C-D-D Night time Cost: $650-$700k/year

17 REGISTRATION OF NON-MOTORIZED WATERCRAFT Program Description AIS decal for nonmotorized boats <18 Canoes, kayaks, etc Some western states: $5 per vessel

18 MANDATORY INSPECTIONS WHY IS THIS THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE? Strongest protection for the lake Institutes C-D-D Standard Inhibit juvenile, non-visible species Compliance is mandatory, does not rely on good faith

19 HOW WOULD THIS PROGRAM WORK? All trailered boats entering Lake George must be inspected Five regional inspection stations around lake Standard of Clean, Drained, and Dry (CDD) Decontamination of boats and trailers not meeting C-D-D standard

20 WHERE WOULD INSPECTION STATIONS BE? Five stations envisioned around Lake George Locations based on launch data, traffic patterns, and available work area

21 HOW WOULD THIS PROGRAM WORK? Sealed after Inspection When removed from lake, boat secured to trailer Frozen boat program Upon next return to Lake George, if seal is intact, inspection is not necessary If seal is not present (i.e. launched at another lake), new inspection is required

22 WHAT IS THE IMPACT TO THE BOATING PUBLIC? Average out-of-way travel time to inspection site: 0-10 minutes Inspection time: 5-7 minutes Decontamination time (if required): minutes Cost for Inspection and possible decontamination: $40 range

23 LAUNCH MANAGEMENT State (4) LGPC Staff After-hours Access via Passive Surveillance Marina & Motel (47) Register Staff or Secure Launch Homeowners & HOA s (46) Register Launch landowner boats Certification of C-D-D Quick Launch & Haulers MOU: chain of custody

24 WHAT IS THE IMPACT TO THE BOATING PUBLIC? Travel time to inspection site: 0-10 minutes Inspection time: 5-7 minutes Decon time: minutes Annual Boater Fee Increase $37.50 for 87% Annual Decon Fee: $40 range

26 SUPPORT FOR MANDATORY PROGRAM Resolutions of Support Warren County Board of Supervisors Village of Lake George Town of Lake George Town of Bolton Town of Hague Town of Ticonderoga Town of Putnam Town of Queensbury Town of Fort Ann Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce Lake George Chamber of Commerce Bolton Chamber of Commerce Hague Chamber of Commerce Lake George Association Fund for Lake George Media/Editorial Boards (unsought) Albany Times Union Glens Falls Post Star Lake George Mirror Adirondack Journal Hague Chronicle Schenectady Gazette Considerable general public support, hundreds of s, letters, calls to LGPC Hague Fish and Game Club

27 SUMMARY Preferred Alternative proposes mandatory inspection of trailered boats prior to launch Implements widely accepted standard for AIS prevention: C-D-D Decontamination available for boats not passing inspection 87% of boaters pay increased annual registration cost of $35 Tremendous public support for proposed program
