Invasive Mussels Continue To Be a Concern At Area Reservoirs

The start of boating season is approaching, and with that come renewed concerns about invasive mussels. Montezuma County Public Lands Coordinator James Dietrich told the county commissioners on Monday that a number of illegal launch sites have been discovered recently at area reservoirs, including Pruitt and Summit, as well as near the Dolores Cemetery and Big Bend on Lake McPhee. A public meeting about the McPhee boating season has been scheduled for 7 p.m. April 11th at the Destination Grill in Cortez.
