It is the BOATER's responsibility to CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY prior to launching at any water -- especially after boating on waters that are listed (ie: Lake Powell, Sand Hollow).
I don't feel bad for you at all. The mandatory drying period had not yet been met, and you had not taking the initiative to make sure your boat was cleaned prior to heading to a new lake.
Basically -- I'm praising the crew at both Starvation and Deer Creek FOR POSSIBLY PREVENTING FURTHER CONTAMINATION!
Sure -- it's a real pain in the but. But it's worth it. I hope more boaters read this and take it upon themselves to assure that their boats are cleaned, drained, and dried (mandatory drying period) prior to moving to other waters.
If you need to get your boat cleaned, just contact your closest DWR office and they will make sure to help get your boat cleaned.
