THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Board heard a report from Resource Manager Samuel Blue and consultant Stephen Burkholder of Dudek on the successful completion of Phase I of the Golden Mussel eradication program and a recommended Phase Two treatment, including a treatment planned for September. The Board did not take action at this meeting; instead, approval of Phase Two was explicitly deferred to the July 2026 Board meeting.
This indicates Arvin-Edison Water Storage District is actively planning additional invasive mussel control work and may need specialized treatment chemicals, application services, environmental compliance support, and monitoring. Vendors in aquatic invasive species control, water quality monitoring, and related engineering services could engage ahead of the July decision to understand the Phase Two scope, offer alternative treatment strategies, or position for implementation, monitoring, or follow-on phases once the program is approved.
Phase I eradication efforts were reported as successful, increasing likelihood the District will proceed with a similar or expanded methodology for Phase Two.
