best. Attached is a scaled drawing of the Muskie Bay and outlet to Pelican Brook. As for specific site<br />
dimensions, at this conceptual and study level, we don't have them. Hopefully, your crew can scale off<br />
the drawing to get any ball-park estimates that they might need. As for the lake bottom substrates, from<br />
what I recall, they are mixed silt, sand, and marl. The maximum depth of the lake is about 65 feet with a<br />
mean depth of about 22 feet deep. I would imagine that navigation of small recreational boats I.e.,<br />
canoes and small fishing boats might be an issue. Please let us know if there's any other site information<br />
needed.<br />
Thanks<br />

Ryan,<br />
Thank you for the information. We will review and try and to get a cost estimate to you by early<br />
next week. In the meantime, could you provide a little more site data? What is the bottom like (I.e.<br />
Mud, sand, etc...)? Do you have an aerial or site plan that shows the layout and dimensions of the<br />
water body? Are there any debris issues to worry about? Is this water body used for recreational<br />
boating, that we might have to worry about navigation? As we discussed on the phone, I believe a<br />
combination of our Marine Life Exclusion System and a biocide would solve the zebra mussel<br />
problem, if that is the direction the client wants to go. If so, we would recommend performing<br />
some site investigation and testing to further refine our design and prOVide a more accurate<br />
estimate of our filtration capabilities when it comes to 25 um sized veligers. I look forward to<br />
hearing from you.<br />
Best regards,<br />

Kevin,<br />
Per our telephone, please provide a cost estimate to install Gunderboom's<br />
Marine Exclusion System to control the dispersal of zebra mussel veligers<br />
from a lake in northern <strong>Minnesota</strong> to a small brook located near the head<br />
waters of the Mississippi River. At this preliminary/conceptual level, a<br />
range of costs is appropriate. The following information includes some
