TIP 276: Enhanced Monitoring and Investigation of the Spread and Potential Impact of Aquatic Invasive Mussels in the Columbia River Basin, with Special Reference to Mitigation and Placement of Boat Cleaning Stations

This project provides BPA with tested products and tools to help delay the arrival and spread of zebra and quagga mussels to the Columbia River Basin (CRB) so that impacts to the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) are minimized; and to improve the efficacy of boat cleaning stations once they are developed by providing a basis for prioritizing their placement. For BPA Power Services, knowing which BPA facilities are most at risk allows for better planning of maintenance, repair and replacement schedules.
