Missoula County supports HB 608, Requiring mandatory AIS decontamination of certain vessels with ballast/bladders, before House Natural Resources this afternoon. HB 608 requires ballast boats to be decontaminated when entering the state or crossing the continental divide into the Columbia River Basin. These boaters will pay a $50 fee for the decontamination. The bill also allows private businesses to be certified to do this work. It has been shown that these types of boats are very difficult to drain and inspect completely and the requirements in this bill will increase the protection of Montana waters.
