EBMUD Recreation Update:
NOTICE - Temporary Closure of Camanche Reservoir Boat Launch
Effective immediately, the Camanche Reservoir boat launch will be temporarily closed. The closure is necessary to help prevent the spread of a harmful species of mussel to Camanche Reservoir and other water bodies. The invasive Golden Mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) has now been identified in North America for the first time and has been discovered in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta. This harmful, non-native species which poses a significant threat to natural ecosystems, water infrastructure, and water quality, Golden Mussels are similar to quagga and zebra mussels; they are invasive and proliferate quickly - but the Golden Mussel can thrive in a greater variety of conditions including waters with lower calcium levels , making them an even more significant concern. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this important precautionary measure.

And other bodies of water....Buckle up!

All the lakes up north will get it work out and it will be business as usual.

It will get figured out one way or another.
It will probably cost us money as usual.

every thing these days is just a money grab ! especially in California where Governor Newscum needs to make up for a multi billion dollar budget deficit!

Yep newsome run out got a bucket of golden mussels went and toss in at the Stockton harbor and said there problem solved I fix the budget deficit

Newsome for president

He going to use the deficit money for the 9.1 million dollar mansion he just purchased for his family.

And beside closing the northern ca.lakes til further notice is the right thing to do until its figured out is the right thing to do.

Mother lode and central valley lakes will be next. Its going to happen eventually.

I doubt it Jiggin. They would have reacted in 2008

I kinda think they won't either.

I hope you are doing well Jiggin

I kinda think they won't either.

Wouldn't drive thru or back in dip tanks full of mussel killing solution solve this problem?

I know guys that go to The Delta all the time, that fish our Valley lakes. Eastman is their favorite lake.

These things have been here for some time . Why did we all of a sudden decide to look ?

Oh well if they make it to Eastman some how I think ill more than likey get over it.
I know bass tournament fisherman there in northern ca. are a sensitive bunch and get butt hurt easily so this northern ca. lake thingy being restricted lake stuff dont set well with them. Complain to your governor. But like me you'll get over it.

Is camanche closed to boats that have a band on from lake Comanche?

Yep! Makes no sense at all but it is.

In this dumbacrat state nothing makes sense. For gods sake they are still counting the votes a month later. “CHEATERS” should be hung.

Yes I suppose it does make liberal sense

CLEAN and DRY. It really makes the difference but you are locked out either way. Much like the vaccine

The governor is going to make Money off this and your going to pay for it with your tax dollars.

WHAT IF...........the DFG or whoever set up a HOT wash down area that the BOATER could wash down his OWN boat as he entered a ramp area and as he left also ?? They could put in 2-4 hoses and the wash down could be done in a short time. I guess it would need monitored somehow, but I think over time it would just become the norm and be much easier for all.

Yes. Where will the money come from? Our governor is more concerned with spending to trump proof Ca
Seriously. Boating recreation in Ca is the last thing they care about

I think it would be cheaper than having to service or replace water infrastructure.

Don't forget our boating and fishing rights are in the California Constitution and were hard fought.

Since statehood, California laws have safeguarded the public rights to access and use its
navigable waters. Provisions of the California Constitution and various state statutes have been
enacted to protect and promote those public rights. Neither the government nor owners of land
underlying navigable waters may unlawfully interfere with the public's access and navigation
rights.

EBMUD is not exempt because of a invasive species threat. They have not taken any meaningful steps to respect public trust doctrine rights. They have an obligation to ensure their actions to prohibit, limit or restrict access are proportional, appropriate and reasonable for the mussel concern they are trying to address. Knee jerk reaction to follow the covid playbook is very troubling and raises serious concerns about their next move. I wish we had more advocacy and protection from this blatant abuse of discretion.
