• Abstract:
  This project was to 1) evaluate the impacts of suspended solids on juvenile mussels, 2) assess the effects of sediment deposition on adult and subadult mussels, 3) develop a particle tracking model, and 4) evaluate the existing and potential mitigation approaches for mussel protection. The comprehensive research included a literature review, a Department of Transportation (DOT) survey and DOT interviews, laboratory studies, modelling development, interviews with Missouri DOT (MoDOT) personnel, and engineering assessments.
