Draft EIS/EIR for the San Luis Reservoir SRA Resource ...

4. Plan Overview
after 2014, a watercraft operator self-inspection program would be implemented
as part of Alternative 1 to meet the requirements of California Fish and Game
Code Section 2302. The self-inspection program would be implemented
consistent with the Level 1 Self-Inspection described in Recommended Uniform
Minimum Protocols and Standards for Watercraft Interception Programs for
Dreissenid Mussels in the Western United States (Pacific States Marine Fisheries
Commission 2009).
Under this program, an inspection form would be made available at an entry
station, kiosk, or message board. The form would have questions for the
watercraft/equipment to answer and instructions for inspecting all designated
areas and equipment. Before launching, boaters must confirm by signing and
displaying a completed self-inspection form that watercraft, equipment, and trailer
have not been in any water known or suspected of having quagga/zebra mussels
in the past 30 days; have been cleaned, and to the extent practical, drained and
dried; and have been visually inspected at the site prior to launching. The form
would then be placed in or on the transport vehicle, where it can be easily seen.
Completion and display of the inspection form would be voluntary. If needed to
protect Plan Area infrastructure and ecosystems, other potential control measures
could be evaluated including, but not limited to, mandatory use of the inspection
form; screening interviews at the point of entry; a comprehensive
watercraft/equipment inspection performed by trained inspectors of all high-risk
watercraft/equipment; and/or decontamination, quarantine, or exclusion of suspect
watercraft.
Section 5.4 evaluates the impacts associated with this alternative in relation to the
action alternatives.
4.4.2 Alternative 2: Limited New Access and Development
Alternative 2 would provide the least overall new visitor access and facility
diversity of the action alternatives. General locations of the new facilities and
features of Alternative 2 are shown on Map 9 and listed in Table 4-1.
Management zone designations would remain the same as with Alternative 1. The
following description of Alternative 2 is organized by the planning areas defined
in Section 3.4.
Resource Management. Alternative 2 proposes the fewest physical additions and
visitor use modifications in the Plan Area but includes several resource
management components. Alternative 2 would implement focused management
plans for the Plan Area resources described below. The preparation of these plans
differs from other proposed management elements. Proposed recreational uses or
facilities allowed under the Plan would be implemented at the discretion of Plan
Area management and could be discontinued for the reasons described at the
beginning of Section 4.4. In contrast, preparation of the focused management
plans is part of Plan implementation and would be implemented within three to
five years of Plan adoption, or sooner if funding is available. The focused
management plans would be as follows:
