ANS cleaning stations have been positioned at three locations in the state for use this watercraft season, including this ANS station at Lake Metigoshe State Park. Others are located on the Red River in Grand Forks and at Lake Ashtabula.
“It’s just a challenge that every state agency faces,” said Ben Holen, Aquatic Nuisance Species coordinator, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, stationed in Jamestown. “Minnesota has a great program and they still have more ANS locations every year.”
Aquatic Nuisance Species, or ANS, change and disrupt bodies of water by altering the ecological make-up of a system. Zebra mussels, for example, filter water so efficiently that a lake with somewhat cloudy water will become clear from top to bottom. That means an entirely different growing environment for plants, fish, and anything else living in the system.

Washington, D.C. A House subcommittee hearing on innovation and investment in water resources infrastructure turned into a course on the importance of annual dredging at the nation’s ports and what to do with the mountains of material produced by that activity.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies, did not hold back in venting her frustration over the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ explanation on why dredged material cannot be turned into a useful byproduct.
“I have worked for four decades to try to get the Corps to find alternate uses for the enormous amount of dredging material that is picked up from the ports across this country,” she said.
