Steam Cleaning is required by the D.E.P. for any watercraft not stored on the reservoir. All D.E.P. waters are protected, protected from oils and other toxins that may have gotten on your boat, from the road dust and invasive species of algae and gastropods that may hitch a ride on your boat. Invasive species such as:
Quagga Mussels and Japanese Knotweed are non-indigenous species that threaten the diversity and abundance of native species we’re trying to protect.
The Pepacton Reservoir is part of the largest unfiltered water system in the world, providing drinking water to 8 Million People. Before we can steam clean your craft you need an access permit from the DEP. You can apply for and print out your own at the D.E.P. website.
