[quote cpierce]The program at specific lakes is a special one required by the irrigation company. This is above and beyond the state funded inspections.
This could easily be solved if an inspection at the border is required and a seal put on the boat. Same as what Wyoming does. Any out of state boat must have an inspection and seal or they don't launch. A check at the lake is then a simple matter of checking that the inspection was done. Getting the inspection is up to the boat owner.[/quote]
That sounds like a good solution. I hope they adopt something like this. One thing I don't understand is when they said they were closing access for any kind of watercraft from all of their lakes when Twin was the only one with the inspection station. There were no stations at Winder or Condie, and float tubes aren't even required to be inspected, so why the blanket ban? Doesn't make sense to me.
