Lawmakers want Folsom Lake reopened to boaters despite golden mussel concerns ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

They are calling for a better balance between protecting against that invasive golden mussel and not stifling the local economy that depends on revenue from boaters and people taking part in water activities.

"We really feel like these agencies have had six months to figure this out, and we're just now starting to look into this and I think that's unacceptable," said Assemblyman Josh Hoover.

He, along with Congressman Kevin Kiley, Assemblyman Joe Patterson, and Senator Roger Niello, sent a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and California Department of State Parks stating that they didn't give enough notice to the people impacted.

Hoover has been on the phone speaking to those agencies about what it would take to make sure they can come up with a better process to both protect waters and not have a negative impact on local communities.

Agencies warn that if the golden mussel finds its way into our waterways, it could cause significant damage to marine ecosystems.
