Meeting Update

The Lake George Park Commission’s Ad-Hoc Committee on Invasive Species made a presentation at meeting on Wednesday with approximately 50 people in attendance, including representatives from the Lake George Fishing Alliance, Warren County Conservation Council and Washington County Federation of Sportsman Clubs.

The AIS reiterated what has already been reported here about their plans for decontamination boat washes. However, they did mention that they will try to accommodate the sportsmen’s request for 24/7/365 access. They are also looking into a self-inspection program, for those willing to take and pass a course on inspection and cleaning their boats.

However they are still planning on requiring all boats to be cleaned and inspected before launching. All launches will be required to be locked down when an inspector is not on duty.

Albany’s Chanel 13 news covered the issue last night.

The Post Star reported that Norowal Marina in Bolton has decided not to host a trial boat washing station this summer.
