QUAGGA THREAT
Tahoe boaters face fee for mussel inspection
Boaters at Lake Tahoe will pay a fee starting June 1 to have their vessels inspected for invasive mussels.
Authorized by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency governing board last month, the fees will fund the inspection program, which costs about $650,000 a year.
Quagga mussels first turned up in Lake Mead in early 2007. Zebra mussels were discovered in a reservoir 250 miles from Tahoe in January 2008.
