Invasive Zebra Mussels Confirmed in Cedar Lake

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has confirmed zebra mussels and zebra mussel larvae in Cedar Lake, near New Prague in Scott County.

A lake service provider notified the DNR on July 16th after finding zebra mussels attached to a dock on Cedar Lake.  On July 18th a contract diver found no adult zebra mussels in Cedar Lake, but water samples collected on July 29th and analyzed by the DNR contained zebra mussel larvae, called veligers.

Although additional adult zebra mussels were not found in these lakes during follow-up searches, the presence of veligers suggests reproducing zebra mussel populations. For that reason, Cedar Lake will be listed as infested for zebra mussels.

Scott County Natural Resource staff are working with the DNR to determine if further action can be done to protect waters downstream of the lake.

 

Following is the DNR notficiation annoucement:
