One gallon of used oil can ruin the taste of one million gallons of fresh water. When used oil enters Folsom Lake through boat bilge pumping, it harms the lake's ecosystem and impacts water supplies for everyone downstream. There are 9 drinking water intakes between Folsom lake and the San Francisco Bay. |

Clean Boating Means:
Never dump raw sewage into the lake. Use floating potties, public toilets, and the Marina pump-out facility.
Think ahead! DON'T LET LITTER GET AWAY!!!!!
Use as little soap as possible and if you do use soap, use low phosphate soap.
Prevent fuel spills by only filling your tank to 95% full
Eliminate oil discharges into the lake. Use our free bilge oil kit. Always funnel oil into your engines. (Marina has free funnels) Wipe away spilled or leaking oil before heading out into open water.
