Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
By Resolution Number (No.) 20-056 (May 19, 2020), the Board authorized and directed the Chief Executive Officer to submit a grant application to the California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) to implement the Quagga and Zebra Mussel Prevention Plan for Mill Creek Ponds.
Summary of Request:
California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Section 672.1(b) requires that any agency owning or managing a reservoir, where recreational, boating, or fishing activities are permitted, shall develop and implement a dreissenid (Quagga and Zebra) mussel prevention program. California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) awarded the County of Mendocino a grant, in the amount of $54,696.40, for implementation of the County’s Quagga and Zebra Mussel Prevention Plan for Mill Creek Ponds. The term of the grant agreement is October 19, 2020 through October 18, 2022. One of the tasks required to fulfill the grant requirements and comply with state regulations is the adoption of California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Disinfection/Decontamination Protocol at Mill Creek Ponds. A draft resolution, adopting the CDFW AIS Disinfection/Decontamination Protocols is included for the Board’s consideration.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not adopt CDFW’s AIS Disinfection/Decontamination Protocols for Mill Creek Ponds and provide direction to staff.
How Does This Item Support the General Plan?
Adoption of this resolution supports the continued work of the Mussel Prevention Implementation Plan for Mill Creek Ponds which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the aquatic habitat at the Mill Creek
County Park. This supports Mendocino County General Plan, Resource Management Policy 3: “Work cooperatively with property owners, agencies, and organizations to develop and support programs that maintain the integrity of stream systems for flood control, aquatic habitat, and water supply.”
