Topics presented include: chlorine as the most frequentlyused control strategy; balance in invasive mussel control and disinfection byproduct (DBP)formation; Zequanox; natural product chemistry; field pilot and demonstration trials; pilot biobox flow through trials; biobox trial results; and, domestic line treatment.
