In response to the recent arrival of the Quagga Mussel in Lake Mead, the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation initiated an assessment of the potential impact of mussels on Hoover,
Davis and Parker dams on the Lower Colorado River. RNT Consulting Inc. was contracted
to review the three dams and present a summary report on areas of the dams at risk
from mussel fouling, best management practices for coping with invasion, and control
options for raw water systems.
