Title
Consider recommendations regarding revisions to the Cachuma Lake Recreation Area Mandatory Vessel Inspection Program and Boat Launch Protocol, Third District, as follows:
a) Approve revisions to the current Mandatory Vessel Inspection Program and Boat Launch Protocol to require a 30-day quarantine for all trailered vessels prior to entering the Cachuma Lake Recreation Area;
b) Authorize the Director of the Community Services Department to make minor revisions to the Mandatory Vessel Inspection Program and Boat Launch Protocol pursuant to Santa Barbara County Code section 26-87 in the interest of preventing the infestation of Quagga and Zebra Mussel and other aquatic invasive species at Cachuma Lake, expanding or reducing the hours of visual inspection, limiting the use of bait, and expanding the types of vessels that are subject to quarantine; and
c) Determine that the approval of the revisions to the Mandatory Vessel Inspection Program and Boat Launch Protocol is for the protection of the environment and does not involve construction activities or relaxation of standards and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of Natural Resources) and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment) and approve the filing of a Notice of Exemption on those bases.
