Case studies of specific applications of mechanical and chemical control methods for the elimination and further control of zebra mussels in raw water intake systems. Explores evaluating options and designing a zebra mussel control system. Examines the pigging process at two raw water intake facilities, one in Lake Erie, one in Lake Ontario. Outlines design and implementation of chemical control applications, including chlorine treatment for a 180 MGD [681 million liters per day (MLD)] water treatment plant in Hamilton, Ontario and a sodium hypochlorite treatment system for the Niagara County (New York) Water District's 24 MGD (91 MLD) water treatment plant. Addresses environmental and economic concerns associated with the installation of zebra mussel control facilities.
