Boat & Jet Ski Decontamination in El Dorado Hills, CA: Jet Ski & Boat Decontamination Services

In October 2024, the invasive golden mussel was found in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, posing a major risk to our state’s water and ecosystems. Being native to the waterways of China and Southeast Asia, this sudden influx of golden mussels has not only impacted the water quality but also has disturbed the native structure and habitat of California’s inland waters. In response, the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) program, along with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Department of Water Resources, has taken several measures to stop the spread through boat inspections and quarantines before boaters set sail on our state’s fresh waters. In this process, an inspector will scrutinize your watercraft and apply a red tampered tag if your boat is found to have mussels or its environment could potentially harbor such organisms, requiring a thirty-day quarantine period. However, boats may receive a green tag once the quarantine period is complete or has gone through a thorough decontamination process, such as the one we offer at Superior Boat Repair & Sales.
