I remember it being a big issue with Int'l commercial vessels on the Great lakes about 10 yrs. ago.
They were worried about the infestation of Zebra Mussels.
I've been out of that area for 5-6 yrs. now, but it didn't seem to harm anything - maybe even helped the water.
The Zebra Mussels actually wound up cleaning up the water pretty well, and I don't think they have turned into any big harm since then.
Maybe some of the Erie guys can chime in on the current conditions up there.
The problem we have here, is everyone thinks they are put in a position to "create" laws.
NO, That's not what you were elected for.
You were elected to "uphold the law".
Every time you turn around, someone wants a new law...

The Zebra Mussels caused all sorts of problems with water intakes. It cost millions to keep them clean. We need to kill this as soon as possible send in your letters

I did send the e-mails to my senators and congresman. Hope this crappy law gets changed for the better.

September 2006 - and were just now hearing about this.....
I don't think they have the resources.
New laws in the country are a severe threat to our fundamental freedoms......... GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!

Maybe the upgrades to the water intakes was necessary to keep up the quality of the water, in a round-about way.

We have been working this issue since August of 2006. This is not unlike many other laws /regulations written is US code. Typically the enforement will be left to the department to figure out. There are currently many U.S. Coast Guard laws which go un-enforeced because they are admittedly impracticle and un-enforceable.

In September, 2006, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a 34-year-old exemption for recreational boats from an EPA regulation intended to stop ballast water discharge from ocean-going freighters and tankers in U.S. waters.
If a higher court or the U.S. Congress does not act, 18 million boats will be required to have special EPA permits that couls cost $800 or more.
the EPA must need more money to waste
