While the chlorine is being put into the water and all boating equipment and is being washed with the chlorine, the boats and equipment must stay out of the water for at least two weeks because zebra mussel larvae can live outside of the water for 2 weeks in the right condition.

Sightings of Zebra Mussels as of 2010

Zebra mussels are an invasive, fingernail-sized mollusk that is native to fresh waters in Eurasia. Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell.
Zebra mussels negatively impact ecosystems in many ways. They filter out algae that native species need for food and they attach to--and incapacitate--native mussels. Power plants must also spend millions of dollars removing zebra mussels from clogged water intakes.

The chemical solution would be more cost effective compared to purchasing water washing equipment, and will be less of a risk to damage the eco system by integrating a new species into the lake.

Our claim would be to use a Sodium hypochlorite solution on areas where can high amounts of Zebra Mussels are likely to live on(boats, docks, and trailer hitches) to kill the population  during the winter. This would be a great time to do this seeing as there  would less people boating and fish will be going to the bottom of the lake to stay away from the cold.
