Lake Chabot Boat Fees

An article in today's Daily Review reports that Lake Chabot will start charging fees for zebra mussel inspection on personal boats launched in the lake. The fees will also be charged at Del Valle and Contra Loma. Per the article:
The fees at all 3 recreation areas will be $6 for boats brought in on trailers and $3 for boats fastened to car tops. A vehicle bringing in two kayaks will be charged $3.

The inspection program has been in effect for a while at Lake Chabot. Your Boulevardier's limited experience has been that the inspectors are hard to find, and one can wait quite a while at the launch dock waiting for them to arrive. It's hoped that the fee will be coupled with more efficient procedures.

I don't understand the inspection. Is the boat inspected before it goes in the water, which would make one think you'd notice such a thing when you pulled it out last. Or is it inspected when the boat comes out of the water in which case I wonder how long they live out of water.

Loved the transition post.
