Pharmace ticals and medication are part o daily ro tine or many Americans. hen medications are not properly disposed they can end p in drinking water. Proper disposal can help lower the risk o contamination in drinking water which wo ld lessen the risk o cons mption.

According to a s rvey y eva Pharmace ticals over hal o American ad lts improperly dispose o pharmace ticals s ally either y throwing them in the trash or shing them down the toilet. Event ally these dr gs make their way o t o a cets into ood and into the environment. In order to protect comm nities and the environment rom these potentially dangero s chemicals the innesota Dept. o ealth esta lished the Contaminants o Emerging Concern Program

CEC . he project goal is to identi y and assess potentially dangero s contaminants incl ding pharmace ticals and in orm organi ations and the p lic on how to deal with and/or dispose o these chemicals.

etting rid o those old pills is easier than one might think CEC is enco raging innesotans to join the o Americans that are already improving the ality o not only lakes rivers and ecosystems t also protecting the health o comm nities.

What are the risks?According to the orld ealth rgani ation there is c rrently no

known health e ects associated with drinking water that is contaminated with pharmace ticals. ost likely this is eca se the levels o most medications in the water are so low. here is however serio s spec lation and concern rom health pro essionals a o t the possi le long term e ects o pharmace tical contaminated drinking water as well as the e ects o com ined medications in the water. Another major concern o health pro essionals lies in the possi le e ects o drinking water contaminated with synthetic hormones. ince hormones already operate at very low concentrations in the ody there is concern that even low levels o contamination over time may negatively a ect someone s health.

hile the ll extent o the environmental impact o pharmace tical contaminated waters is still nknown many st dies have shown a correlation etween contamination and growth de ects in a atic li e. According to the environmental protection agency fish in contaminated areas have een known to s er rom many a normalities incl ding increased em ryo mortality massive shi ts in the sex o fish pop lations delayed sex al development str ct ral and ne rological de ormities and impaired imm ne and reprod ctive systems. o make matters worse nited tates eological rvey tests indicate that over o waterways in the nited tates contain some mix o contaminants. I we want to keep o r lakes and rivers healthy the only choice is to start properly disposing o pharmace ticals.

policy land management and water related sinesses find reasons to e hope l in fight against e ra ssels and o invasive species.

he innesota tatewide A atic Invasive pecies AI Advisory Committee released its Ann al Report or 3. he Committee a ter a year o st dy disc ssion and research is

p eat noting that other areas with as many lakes and even greater variations in topography have een s ccess l in controlling the spread o e ra m ssels and other AI said e orester Exec tive Director o innesota akes and Rivers Advocates.

orester contin ed here is a lot o misin ormation and misperceptions o t there a o t a atic invasive species.

ne o the first tasks we ndertook was to review these ideas and see i there was any asis or them.

he report goes on to state o those that say we cannot e s ccess l stopping the spread o AI we the mem ers o the tatewide AI Advisory Committee... nanimo sly disagree.

innesota not only can e s ccess l we m st e s ccess l i we are to contin e to have a way o li e and economy ased pon healthy and vi rant water ecosystems.

he report dispels other AI myths. e o nd no evidence that

irds transport e ra m ssels said orester. he tatewide AI Advisory

Committee also saw opport nities or nding so rces d e to the high level o oat owners in the state and stressed the opport nity to involve water related sinesses like marinas ait shops and local governments in

the work. he report does not o er a silver llet sol tion t recogni es

that a comprehensive statewide AI plan will involve a set o many tools and strong partners etween a variety o gro ps government agencies and local comm nities. he AI Ann al Report states ... there are opport nities to involve the private sector an army o vol nteers and well developed organi ations that add considera le savings. he wealth that

innesota s lakes and rivers generate j stifies considera le investment in their protection.

or instance the Department o ransportation can e involved with order protection at ports o entry

to innesota or key roadside rest areas said orester. em ers o the committee have een in disc ssions with oat man act rers and associations to design oats that are more resistant to AI transport and easier to decontaminate sho ld they ecome in ested.

he Committee recogni ed that the D R cannot do this jo alone

t needs s pport not only rom the comm nity t rom the egislat re

and overnor Dayton. A legislative s committee o the tatewide AI Advisory Committee sent letters to the

innesota egislat re rging them to provide one time nding to help local comm nities with in rastr ct re needs like decontamination stations

t also a relia le and ongoing so rce o nding or AI related activities.

here is also a need or a stronger legislation to serve as a ramework or a s ccess l AI program.

Ro ert lson President o the tatewide AI Advisory Committee

wrote he challenge or the committee mem ers in this next year will e to ring orward ideas and recommendations to the D R that will provide the s staina le nding needed

to attle these invaders to review c rrent policies and practices to ins re that they are e ficient and e ective and to improve pon them where possi le.

In D R Commissioner om andwehr appointed the AI

innesota is one o the several states that allow co nties and cities to create and en orce their own laws regarding leashed dogs instead o creating statewide laws and in tter ail Co nty we have a n isance

creates a n isance when it endangers or inj res persons while it is o the property o the owner or person in possession o the animal. In section three the ordinance states it is

nlaw l or any person who is the owner or person in possession o an animal to permit that animal to create a n isance.

I f your dog does g et away and hurts or endang ers someone, you could be charg ed with a misdemeanor. The maximum punishment f or a misdemeanor in Minnesota is 9 0 days in j ail, a $ 1,000

District 3 Co nty Commissioner ohn ind ist elieves we need to y time or researching answers to local AI iss es. e cited the amprey in the reat akes as an example. e noted that Asian Carp are a concern. In Iowa a oat

was taken o t or a mile trip on the ississippi River and 3 fish j mped into the oat. Altho gh they have tried to ild arriers or the j mping fish it is tho ght they

will e in o r area in the t re. he ississippi River connects with the innesota River which connects with the Pomm de erre River. tter ail Co nty will receive money rom the tate or AI . It is not yet known how those nds will e sed.

ind ist also indicated that o r a i er is slowly declining. he main reasons or this are ho sehold se o water gro nd so rce heat p mps p mp and d mp and 3 irrigation. hat one inch o water in one acre o water is gallons and weighs tons. ohnson ake is eet or . million gallons over ordinary water level. P mps are removing a million gallons a day and /3 evaporates on a day with wind. In order to p mp a closed lake the water m st e tested or AI . A property owner asked i there was a we site with later level history. D R does provide that in ormation. tter ail Co nty has more lakes than any other state in the nion. ilt decreases lake depth and ers are needed to prevent silt rom reaching the lakes and avoid erosion. C rrently any time the co nty works on a ditch they add a er.

ind ist was also asked a o t genetic sol tions to AI . ind ist tho ght we co ld slow down the spread o AI t not stop it. ne example is the amprey Eels in the reat akes.

enetic research like what is eing done with egacy monies greatly impacted the amo nt o amprey in the

reat akes. ind ist was asked a o t the stat s

inally ind ist spoke to the estion a o t leaving long grasses

along water rather than mow along the lake. ers are needed to protect the water rom chemicals and r n o .

he financial report was given y treas rer ynn elchior with the a dit report given y Pat nke. here was no nfinished siness or siness rom the oor. teve o ritson rom Ro nd ake and treas rer o the o ndation

reported there was in checking and 3 in CDs. Payments or I ID so ar are 3 . ast year was spent on AI inspections. wim lessons are in ll swing and o ritson hands re nds checks to those completing the classes.

In arch the ew ork imes p lished a story called cience akes on ilent Invader a version

o which was reprinted in the tar ri ne. he article seems to indicate

that scientists are closing in on a silver llet sol tion something that

can e sa ely added to lakes that will kill e ra m ssels and nothing else.

n ort nately the article is misleading and the hope it generates n o nded.

he article o tlines the work o Dr. Dan alloy with Pse domonas orescens

a nat rally occ rring acteri m that kills

e ra m ssels. he acteri m is eing marketed nder the name e anox.

he p lic is j stifia ly excited a o t this discovery. e ra m ssels can threaten fisheries lake ecology and innesota s illion ann al recreation ased economy ille acs eing the most recent and pain l

example. A atic Invasive pecies can lower property tax ase and destroy p lic in rastr ct re like dams and water intake pipes at drinking water and hydroelectric acilities.

e orester Exec tive Director o

innesota akes and Rivers Advocates and mem er o the tatewide AI Advisory Committee said he logosphere and many newspapers

have recently declared the war on e ra m ssels to e won t sadly

those reports are grossly premat re. aid orester es e anox can

kill e ra m ssels witho t harming other li e t it has an ins rmo nta le o stacle o scale. here is simply no via le open water application.

e anox will kill s in a pipe or tank with etter than e ectiveness and does not harm other creat res. t

e anox is not a live acteri m and so m st e reapplied which is cost prohi itive. I an inexpensive method o synthesi ing e anox were to e developed it wo ld still e impossi le to get concentrations high eno gh to treat even a small open water lake with c rrents wind and waves.

Dr. alloy is actively seeking nding o research ilding on his earlier work with Pse domonas orescens with an emphasis on trying to find a live organism that was sel replicating co ld get ederal approval and wo ld not harm any other a atic li e in the system. Dr. alloy recogni ed that while his work to create e anox was like looking or a needle in a haystack finding a similar live organism or open

water treatments wo ld e like initiating a moon shot and predicts an open water sol tion wo ld take decades i it was o nd.

aid Dr. Peter orensen the Chair o innesota A atic Invasive pecies Research Center As we look or sol tions to the state s AI pro lems we need to recogni e that a com ination o approaches that incl des prevention and short term fixes as well as new science that aims or ndamental change with long lasting e ects is needed. his will take s stained e ort and time.

here may never e a c re or the common cold or e ra m ssels t that doesn t mean o r lakes have to get sick. Instead we will need to enlist an array o strategies ehavior changes tools and laws to contin ally lower the risk o transmission. Controlling AI is a o t controlling the pathways on which they travel rom one lake to another. he good news/ ad news is that the great majority o these pathways rely on h mans. e do have a certain amo nt o control. e anox may well play a role in this work or instance as a treatment or allast water tanks in wake oard oats or in live wells and di fic lt to reach ilges

t e anox is no silver llet.

compared to older larger fish. Competition or ood etween stocked fish can decrease

fish growth leading to decreased s rvival and ltimately ewer fish or anglers to catch.

hile o r stocking program is s ccess l within each lake there s an ideal range we aim or when we stock fish said

ander osch. he ottom line is smart stocking means etter fishing.

hose who want to give additional s pport to walleye fishing can p rchase the

innesota walleye stamp wherever D R licenses are sold. Proceeds rom sales o the stamp which is not re ired to fish or or keep walleye are sed to maintain and enhance innesota walleye fishing. he stamp costs and the dollars ow into a dedicated acco nt or walleye stocking.
