…..State fishery director John Lott said GF&P
employees have been inspecting and disinfecting boats when they come out of the
water at Lewis and Clark Reservoir so the zebra mussels aren’t carried to other
waters of South Dakota. At Belle Fourche Reservoir<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Belle+Fourche+Dam,+Belle+Fourche,+SD+57717/@44.731096,-103.8174946,11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x532d7919b0724937:0x93f5be722666026a!8m2!3d44.731096!4d-103.6774189>,
dredging equipment that last worked at Lake Superior turned out to be carrying
zebra mussels. Lott said the barges were shipped to Rapid City for
power-washing and cleaning with chlorine disinfectants….. “Right now I don’t
know if we could take to the Legislature a plan for how to stop this no matter how
much money you threw at it,” Lott said. “I don’t know if money or more manpower
is the answer.”
