Please understand that decontaminations may not be available when outside temperatures reach below freezing.

Decontaminations required on boats without an intact Lake Tahoe wire inspection seal from Nov-Spring of 2013 will be done on a reservation basis only (weather permitting).

Winter weather may affect winter inspection location hours of operation, and any delays or closures will be posted on this website and on the 888-824-6267 Hotline. During the winter there are other launching facilities open, but NO INSPECTIONS will be available at these locations and only boats with INTACT Lake Tahoe wire inspection seals will be permitted to launch. Boaters should contact those facilities directly for their winter hours of operation.
