Prepared by: Lake County Fish and Wildlife Committee.
Risk assessment
proposal addresses the current threat
posed by both the quagga mussel (Dreissena
bugensis) and zebra mussel (D. polymorpha). This
report identifies a number of positive
actions already undertaken by the County of Lake
and encourages their continued
support. Secondly, this report attempts to prioritize
the various risk factors associated
with each Lake County waterbody with public access,
and provides organizational and
management guidance to direct preventative measures
against mussel introduction.
