via Zebra mussel apparently kept out of Lake Minnewashta – Chanhassen Villager: News.
According to Sam Pertz, the acting Parks Coordinator at the Minnewashta Regional Park, the boater had been out of the water for more than 5 days and had been previously in Gull Lake. The inspector and the boater handled the situation very professionally. The parks employee gave the boater a temporary authorization to travel and directed him to a local decontamination station. DNR employees are following up with the boater to ensure that he followed the decontamination recommendation. Excellent work by everyone involved and a potential zebra mussel infestation avoided.
