Forest Service launches new self-serve AIS cleaning stations
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service in the Northern Region introduced a new tool in the fight against aquatic invasive species through the installation of four waterless, boater-operated cleaning systems.
CD3 system, which stands for clean, drain, dry and dispose, is a standalone watercraft cleaning unit offering an air blower, wet-dry vacuum, hand tools and lights.
“The Northern Region has world-renowned waterways from Pend Oreille Lake to the Gallatin, Madison and Missouri Rivers, hundreds of lakes, and many headwaters,” said Michelle Cox, Invasive Species Program Manager, Northern Region. “It is critical that we continue to all do our part and look for ways to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species into our waterways.”
