BEMIDJI -- The Beltrami County Aquatic Invasive Species Program opened a free watercraft decontamination station on Monday, May 24. The site is operated by Beltrami County level two watercraft inspectors who were trained the previous week to become DNR-authorized, a release said.
Boaters should consider getting a watercraft decontamination if they are launching into multiple water bodies within five days of each other. The decontamination process typically includes hot water flushing of the watercraft with 100- to 140-degree water, and can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
