Text

The director shall designate a water of the state as an infested water if the director determines that the water contains a population of an aquatic nuisance species that may spread to other waters if use of the water and related activities is not regulated to prevent this spread. In determining which waters are infested with a nuisance species, the director shall consider:

1.The extent of a species distribution within the state;

2.The likely means of spread for a species; and

3.Whether rules specific to infested waters containing a specific species will effectively reduce that species' spread.
