Basics
Clean, drain, and dry is the AIS Program mantra that guides recreators on what they can do to help prevent the introductions of AIS. To enhance non-motorized watercraft becoming clean, drain , and dry, cleaning stations are being sought to be placed at strategic locations to protect waters of the Region.
Equipment developed by CD3, allows for recreators to reduce risk of introduction by providing tools to remove AIS and/or water, and a receptacle for storing any material removed from the non-motorized vessel.
Two units have been acquired through the League to Save Lake Tahoe and BIL. One rotates locations, the other is stationed at Meeks Resort in partnership with the Washoe Tribe.

Preventing new invasive species helps protect native fish populations from predation and being outcompeted by invasives.
-
Facilitates non-motorized
-
AIS can impact water clarity and water quality by adding undesired species that increase nutrient loading to the waters of the Region.

| 01/27/2025 10:25 AM | Dennis Zabaglo | The two units recorded 957 use sessions and operated at 6 locations during 2024: Meeks Resort, Sand Harbor, Elk's Club (UTR), Baldwin Beach, Fallen Leaf Lake, and Echo Lakes. Use of the air compressor is the most popular which can blow off water and debris. A proposal has been submitted to the Lake Tahoe License Plate Grant seeking funds to acquire a 3rd unit to be housed at Sand Harbor. |

| 02/12/2024 1:02 PM | Dennis Zabaglo | The unit was deployed at 8 locations from June 29 through September 4th for a duration ranging from 6-12 days. The sites include: Kiva Beach, Baldwin Beach, Nevada Beach, Pope Beach, Sugar Pine CA State Park, Kings Beach, Sand Harbor NV State Park, and Echo Lakes The numbers of uses by month and the number of tools used (some people used multiple tools): June- 12/20 July- 322/555 August- 170/313 September- 5/28 Total= 509/916 Tools include: Compressed air, Brush, Plug Wrench , Reach grabber, and vacuum. 67% percent of tool use was the compressed air compared to the next highest being the plug wrench at 11%. The lowest used tool was the brush, which was only used 3 times. A photo was uploaded that includes use data tables for 2023. |
