Friant Water Authority is planning an “aggressive” outreach campaign before Memorial Day weekend in an effort to keep golden mussels out of several eastside reservoirs, including Millerton Lake.  The campaign includes social media and handouts urging boaters  “Clean, Drain and Dry”  all watercraft and trailers. This is especially important for boaters who have visited the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, ground zero for the golden mussel infestation. Friant is working with California State Parks and the Bureau of Reclamation to remind boaters to check and clean watercraft before launching into Millerton Lake. … Friant is also working on similar messaging with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which manages dam infrastructure at Pine Flat, Kaweah Lake, Lake Success, Lake Isabella.
