The mussels were first discovered in the San Joaquin Delta last October, and now there's growing concern that they could spread to Folsom Lake and Lake Tahoe.
"I've been working 9 to 9. I just want everyone to have the opportunity to get on the water," Medeiros said.
"The timing couldn't be more perfect. It's like drinking from a fire hose," he added.
"We really need to be on edge about the golden mussel. We're really concerned," said Laura Patten with Keep Tahoe Blue.
Though the risk from non-motorized equipment is lower, officials are urging everyone to thoroughly clean any gear they bring near the water.
Golden mussels are tough and adaptable, capable of surviving in a wide range of temperatures. They spread quickly, threaten native species, and can increase nutrients in the water.
At Folsom Lake, boat inspections are required at two launch points: Granite Bay and Browns Ravine. Anyone who skips the process could face fines.
"There've been some challenges we've had to work through, but we're making it work, and I think the process is very quick for folks," said Chief Barry Smith with the Gold Fields District.
