One month later, on September 9, 2013, the AIS Coordinators met in Portland, Oregon They gathered for the Annual Meeting of the WRP and the AIS Coordinators spent an afternoon during the Western Invasive Species Coordinating Effort (WISCE) meeting to review the definitions section of this report This facilitated session provided the AIS Coordinators an opportunity to share feedback gained from supervisors, staff and partners after the Denver meeting, and further solidify the definitions It also provided an opportunity for two states that were unable to attend the Denver workshop, to join in the collective conversation (See Appendix C for the Portland meeting participant list.) An action plan to implement Legal and Regulatory Efforts to Minimize Expansion of Invasive Mussels through Watercraft Movements in the western United States PAGE The Denver Workshop A total of 39 individuals representing western AIS Coordinators, Assistant Attorneys General, natural resource agency attorneys, law enforcement supervisors, and others convened to specifically address three action items from the 2012 Phoenix, AZ meeting action plan: 2.3: Develop standard definitions for language used in efforts to prevent the transport of Dreissena mussels 2.4: Develop standard criteria for Dreissena mussel monitoring, testing, and the protocols for listing and de-listing of positive (infested) water bodies 2.6: Develop model statutory/regulatory language for a comprehensive watercraft inspection and decontamination program The format of the workshop provided for concurrent sessions The discussion in the workshop included topics related to other plan action items, in addition to the intended three actions listed above: 2.1: Enhance and improve timely communication about movements and inspections of high risk boats in the West via the creation and use of a database that captures information about moored boats in infested waters 2.2: Build on existing Uniform Minimum Protocols and Standards for Watercraft Interception Programs for Dreissena Mussels in the Western United States (UMPS) document with a goal of consistent decontamination protocols and reciprocity across the western states 2.11: Standardize boat inspection documentation/seals and other similar types of materials across regions The work performed by the Attorneys General must be accomplished prior to initiating discussions or actions on the following three plan action items: 2.9: Explore the establishment of a compact among the western states to share AIS violation data and potentially revoke fishing and/or boating licenses for significant/repeated violations 3.2: Review existing state legal and regulatory authorities related to the movement of AIS by trailered watercraft, and compare these state programs to a model law/regulation (see action 2.5) to identify areas where gaps in each state can be addressed 3.3: Explore a tiered fine strategy for repeat offenders of AIS laws PAGE PAGE One purpose of the meeting was to convene AIS Coordinators to advance consensus on the following:     Water body monitoring classifications and definitions Watercraft inspection definitions, protocols, and standards Watercraft decontamination definitions, protocols and standards Certification of inspection and decontamination programs The AIS Coordinators reached consensus on the following items:       Definitions for what constitutes early ‘detection’ and the minimum required to validate the detection Water body definitions based on detection Notification requirements based on detections and water body definitions Triggers for states to implement management (resource dependant) De-listing timelines for suspect, positive and infested water bodies Definitions for Self-Inspection, Inspection, Decontamination, Authorized Agent, Authorized Location, Quarantine, Impound, Exclusion and Seals/Receipts More discussion is need on the following, and a spring meeting is being planned Watercraft Inspection and Decontamination Training and Field Procedures Quality Control Standards Record Keeping and Reporting Data Sharing Communication and Notification Sampling Standards Concurrently, a Model Language Workgroup consisting of Assistant Attorneys General, state agency attorneys, and law enforcement personnel sought to:   Achieve consensus on the essential legal authorities for an effective Watercraft Inspection/Decontamination Program Select model approaches and draft model legislative language, based on existing state law and experience, for implementing these authorities PAGE  Review and discuss the waterbody monitoring and classification schemes, definitions, standards, and protocols emerging from the AIS Coordinator Workgroup consensus Throughout the three-day agenda, both groups reconvened on a regular basis to touch base, ask questions, obtain clarification, and, to the extent possible, advance agendas to achieve overall workshop goals Issues outside the scope of the primary agenda, or those requiring further exploration/research/communication, were documented The three-day workshop concluded with a discussion of four place-based scenarios to reinforce consensus achieved during the workshop and identify gaps or issues requiring further clarification PAGE Results AIS COORDINATOR WORKGROUP AIS Coordinators achieved consensus on the following minimum definitions, protocols and standards: I Definitions     Manageme nt Trigger   Verification – the scientifically-based process to confirm the presence of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Detection, detect or detected – the verified presence of AIS Minimum to verify detection: independent results from the same sample, using scientifically accepted techniques Waterbody definitions:  Status Unknown – Waters that have not been monitored  Undetected/Negative - sampling/testing is ongoing and nothing has been detected, or nothing has been detected within the time frames for de-listing  Inconclusive (temporary status) - Water body has not met the minimum criteria for detection  Suspect – Water body that has met the minimum criteria for detection  Positive – Multiple (2 or more) subsequent sampling events that meet the minimum criteria for detection  Infested – A water body that has an established (recruiting or reproducing) population of AIS De-listing a Water Body for ZQM:  Inconclusive – year of negative testing including at least one sample taken in the same month of subsequent year as the positive sample (accounting for seasonal environment variability) to get to undetected/negative  Suspect – years of negative testing to get to undetected/negative  Positive – years of negative testing to get to undetected/negative PAGE Infested – Following a successful eradication or extirpation event including a minimum of years postevent testing/monitoring with negative results Prevention- To stop or attempt to stop the introduction of AIS Containment- To stop or attempt to stop AIS from spreading Watercraft Inspection and Decontamination Program (WID) Watercraft Interception Program (WIP) Watercraft Interdiction Program (WIP) Any program which seeks to prevent the spread of AIS on a conveyance by requiring that the conveyance be clean, and to the extent practical, drained and dried prior to launching or upon exit           Authorized Inspector - Has a valid certification for aquatic invasive species inspections and decontaminations that meets the minimum standards established by the most current Uniform Minimum Protocols and Standards for Watercraft Inspection and Decontamination for Dreissenid Mussels in the United States (UMPS) Authorized WID or WIP Location - A location or an address where an authorized inspector may be available to conduct an inspection and/or decontamination Self-inspection (voluntary or mandatory) – An inspection conducted by a conveyance owner, operator, transporter, or any other untrained or unauthorized person o Note: Self-inspection is not decontamination Inspection – Process to determine whether a conveyance presents an AIS risk Inspection Screening Interview – Asking the conveyance operator a series of questions prior to launching or entry that are designed to determine the level of risk based on the recent history of use This should be an element of every inspection program Drying Time - The amount of time out of the water required to assure that all AIS are killed through desiccation o This time requirement varies widely depending on temperature, humidity conditions for the specific geographic area the boat is being held out of the water in (100th Meridian quarantine time calculator – ZQM only) PAGE 10 I Legislative Findings [Placeholder – Final version will include either suggested language or a couple of
