Description

Activities
Research efforts will focus on developing a granular formulation of niclosamide that is capable of producing sustained localized low-level concentrations. Formulations will be designed to achieve the desired release rates to maximize treatment efficacy while optimizing density and formulation hardness to minimize application hazards associated with dust.deliverables and expected outcomes: researchers at northland college will provide researchers at the united states geological survey upper midwest environmental sciences center with sufficient granular formulation for further testing and field trials. Sites in lakes michigan and huron will be selected for testing the efficacy of the optimized formulation.
Intended beneficiaries
Successful implementation of the projects goals will provide lake managers, such as the great lakes fisheries commission, with better tools for habitat restoration efforts. Furthermore, an effective spot treatment formulation would also benefit water infrastructure throughout the country, such as hydroelectric dams, municipal water intake stations, and power generating facilities that use lake or river water for cooling purposes.
