See general categories for Implementation Schedules. 2. Other agencies' responsibility would be of a cooperative nature or projects funded under a contract or grant program. In some cases contracts could be let to universities or private enterprises. 3. Note: Task costs have not been estimated for this plan. This species exists with other listed mussels in the same river systems. Thus, a task aimed at this species will benefit others. Rather than attempting to apportion the costs to each species, recovery tasks will be estimated at a later date when the plans are combined on a watershed basis for implementation. | |||||||||||

At the time of the recovery plan (1984), three populations were known. For the past ~20 years, the species has been restricted to the Duck River, TN, and Powell River, VA/TN. Between 2008 and 2009, a VPI graduate student conducted a population status assessment in Powell River, VA and TN. The species' status has improved, and appears to occur at more sites than previously thought. Survey work since 2010 in Duck River also indicates improving status, with ample recruitment documented at some sites and overall population increase. The Duck population clearly is larger and has better overall status than the Powell population. This information is more/less up-to-date as of August 2014. | |||||||||||
