The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) partnered with the National Park Service and others to install a CD3 (clean, drain, dry) unit at the Kettle Falls Marina. A dedication ceremony for the new unit will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 11th at the marina.

It’s part of a state-wide program asking boaters to clean, drain and dry their power boat, sailboat, jet ski, kayak, or other watercraft body before entering the water. Doing so greatly reduces the chances of spreading aquatic invasive species (AIS) such as weeds and mussels. AIS can degrade habitats, crowd out native species, and clog pipes and other infrastructure. Learn more about the CD3 program here.

An AIS self-certification form is required before launching any watercraft on Lake Roosevelt. Click here for more information and access to the form.
