The usage of non-oxidizing biocides to control zebra mussels is one of the primary chemical treatment methods available. Due to varying plant configurations several differing strategies are employed for the application of non-oxidizing biocides. These methods include targeted treatments, entire system treatments and forebay treatments. Treatments are coordinated with veliger and mussel settlement data to minimize the frequency of applications. To properly perform a treatment, the necessity of planning and contingencies will be discussed.
