Matt Cochran initiated the meeting with a short overview ofthe FishPro study and the approach we plan to take to complete the study. Gary Montz replied with general comments: 1) The study is developing well and gives a good introduction to those not directly involved with zebra mussels 2) The background infoffilation on the lake and the species was good. Expansion of these areas of the report is not necessary beyond what is already included in the 50% draft. 3) It is good to include technologies that may not necessarily be feasible 4) It is important to list the reasons for discontinuing consideration ofeach method 5) Stay away from references to total eradication. 2. Section 1. Gary commented that we should rephrase the last sentence in the second paragraph on page I-I. The intention of the study is not to wipe out the population in the lake, but rather stop the spread of downstream transport of zebra mussels. He also informed FishPro that the official contract date should be January 3, 2005. 3. Matt informed MN DNR that Section II would provide a very concise overview of the report; this will be presented at 95%. 4. Section III. Matt informed MN DNR that the figures in Section III would be further developed and that some ofthe information in this section may be expanded.
