Prior Studies MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Feasibility Study to Limit the Spread of Zebra Mussels from Ossawinnamakee Lake There is an extraordinary amount ofliterature in relation to zebra mussels. Much ofthe available literature was developed in the early to mid-1990's, but there is some recent literature that evaluates proprietary control methods for zebra mussels. The literature that was utilized in the development of each section has been included in a works cited page at the end of the corresponding section. In addition, a complete list of literature that has been reviewed in the process ofwriting this report has been included in Appendix D ofthis report. MN DNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have studied zebra mussel occurrence and treatment in relation to Ossawinnamakee Lake. MN DNR has written two informal reports that discuss the sampling and treatment efforts that have been carried out. The U.S. Army Research and Engineer Development Center has completed a technical report entitled Final Report of the Effects of Cutrine®-Ultra and Cupric Sulfate on the Zebra Mussel, Dreissena polymorpha that describes the effects of the chemical treatment. that was utilized at Ossawinnamakee Lake. These three documents have been included in Appendix E. The following agencies have been involved to varying degrees in prior studies: • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service • WI Department ofNatural Resources • U.S. Geological Survey • IA Department ofNatural Resources • U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers • SC Department ofNatural Resources • U.S. Department ofAgriculture • WA Department ofFish and Wildlife • U.S. Environmental Protection • PN Department ofEnvironmental Agency Protection • MN Department ofNatural • New Hampshire Department of Resources Environmental Services • MN Office ofthe Revisor of • Vermont Agency ofNatural Resources Statutes The type ofprior add current studies include: • Habitat - Biodiversity • Spawning Activities • Adaptation Parameters • Monitoring - Detection I • Control Methods Project Authorization' • Life Stages • Food Source & Food Chain • Movement - Dispersal • Impacts ofMacrofouling/Infestation This Feasibility Study was authorized by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to FishPro/Cochran and Wilken, Inc. on January 3, 2005. 1-2 Introduction
