Little 1 and Holly Puglis 1 U.S. Geological Survey 4 1 Introduction 2 Invasion by exotic species has been identified as one of the major threats to freshwater biodiversity (Dudgeon 3 and others, 2006). Exotic aquatic species have many invasive pathways including intentional and unintentional 4 spread by humans. One potential vector for the unintentional transfer of invasive aquatic species (hereafter, 5 invasive species) during the application of fire suppression chemicals that have been prepared with water 6 infested with invasive organisms. 7 Routine fire suppression activities during wildland fires often involve the use of fire retardants and fire 8 suppressant foams and gels. These are occasionally prepared at a location near the fire by mixing fire chemical 9 concentrates with water from natural sources such as lakes, ponds, streams, or reservoirs for helicopter dip-tank 10 applications (http://www.fs.fed.us/rm/fire/, last accessed 10/01/2014). The operations may result in water 11 obtained from one watershed applied to a different watershed, which may contribute to the spread of exotic 12 species. 13 Many federal agencies that are involved in fighting wildland fires already have guidelines in place to prevent 14 the spread of invasive species including sanitizing equipment with chemical disinfectants (typically quaternary 15 ammonia compounds or bleach are recommended), allowing equipment to thoroughly dry, and sanitizing 16 surfaces with hot water (National Interagency Fire Center, 2013; United States Department of Agriculture, 17 2013). There is also a possibility that the chemical products used in retardants, foams, and water enhancers may 18 be toxic to these invasive species, but little is known about the sensitivity of potentially invasive organisms to 19 these products during routine fire suppression applications. 5 20 Because of climate change and fuel accumulation, wildland fires in the western United States are predicted to be 21 more frequent and larger (National Wildlife Coordinating Group Executive Board, 2009). This may increase the 22 risk of the potential spread of aquatic invasive species by infesting firefighting equipment. Several of the most 23 virulent invaders in the western United States include, zebra and quagga mussels, Dreissena polymorpha and 24 Dreissena bugensis, (hereafter, dreissenids), didymo (Didymosphenia geminata) and New Zealand mudsnail 25 (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) (Viani and others, 2011). The primary objective of this study is to determine the 26 sensitivity of the dreissenid larvae (hereafter, veligers) D. geminata, and P. antipodarum to chemical fire 27 suppression foams for realistic contact times that would be expected during fire suppressant loading and 28 delivery. Because of the highly invasive nature of the previously listed species, all studies were carried out in 29 locations where the organisms are well established, thereby eliminating the risk of accidental release during 30 shipment or testing in Missouri. 31 32 Methods for conducting toxicity tests with invasive organisms 33 Fire suppression foams were obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service and 34 were shipped to the Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) by way of overnight courier in sealed 35 containers. Upon receipt, shipping containers were inspected for damage and the security seals were inspected 36 with no evidence of tampering. The chemicals were stored in their shipping containers at room temperature in a 37 secured laboratory at CERC. The chemicals and manufacturers are as follows: Chemguard First Class is 38 manufactured by Chemguard, Inc. (Masfield, Texas), FIRST RESPONSE Class A Foam Concentrate and 39 PHOS-CHEK® WD881 Class A Foam Concentrate are manufactured by ICL PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS 40 LP (St. Louis, Missouri), and SILV-EX Plus is manufactured by Tyco Fire Suppression and Building Products 41 (Marinette, Wisconsin). 42 6 43 Toxicity tests were conducted with dreissenid larvae – referred to as veligers - of both quagga and zebra 44 mussels. Veligers of both species were collected from the Detroit River in Detroit, Michigan. No attempt was 45 made to sort them by species as this would increase handling stress. The veligers were held in an incubator for 46 at least 12 hours to acclimate to room temperature before the start of any test. The exposures to fire suppressant 47 foams were conducted at Wayne State University, Detroit in static conditions using filtered Detroit River water 48 at 21 degrees centigrade (ºC). Testing chambers were 300 microliter (µ/L) wells in a 96-well well plate. We 49 made 500-milliliter (mL) stock solutions by mixing 15 mL, 25 mL, and 50 mL of fire suppression foam into 50 485 mL, 475 mL, and 450 mL of filtered Detroit River water to make 3-, 5-, and 10- percent stock solutions, 51 respectively. Filtered Detroit River water was used as a control. The wells were stocked with at least one veliger 52 in about 200 µL of stock solution or Detroit River water. There were 12 replicates for each treatment. After 10- 53 15, and 45-60 minutes, an inverted microscope with cross polarized light filter was used to locate each veliger 54 then the organism was observed for signs of life without the polarizing filter at a magnification of 200X.. Each 55 veliger was observed for at least 30 seconds. If there were no signs of life, such as internal motion, after 30 56 seconds, the veliger was recorded as dead. 57 Exposures of D. geminata to fire suppression foams were conducted with 2-3 cubic millimeter (mm3) segments 58 of freshly collected D. geminata mats. The mats were collected from a spring fed inflow in the South Boulder 59 Creek in El Dorado Springs, Colorado. The exposures were conducted at the University of Colorado-Boulder in 60 static conditions in South Boulder Creek water (appendix 1) at 6 ºC. Testing chambers were 30 ml polystyrene 61 cups. Fire chemical stock solutions containing the commercial formulations were prepared with South Boulder 62 Creek water and adjusted for percent commercial formulation to achieve 3-, 5-, and 10-percent fire chemical 63 treatments. South Boulder Creek water was used as a control. Each cup was stocked with one mat segment and 64 20 mL of the appropriate stock solution or control water. Mat segments were exposed to each treatment for 10- 65 15 minutes or 45-60 minutes. There were four replicates for each treatment at each exposure time. Following 66 exposure, each segment was rinsed with deionized water to remove the fire chemical treatment and placed in 7 67 scintillation vials with 10 mL of 0.004 percent neutral red dye solution. To determine viability, an inverted 68 microscope was used to view the cells at a magnification of 400x (Kilroy, 2005). 69 70 P. antipodarum snails were collected from a 12 ºC spring fed stream in Astoria, Oregon. Animals were 71 kept in buckets overnight to be brought up to room temperature at 17 ºC. Exposures were conducted at Astoria 72 High School in static conditions in spring fed stream water collected at the high school fish hatchery (appendix 73 1) at 17 ºC. Test chambers were 30-mL polystyrene cups. Fire chemical stock solutions containing the 74 commercial formulations were prepared with stream water and adjusted for percent commercial formulation to 75 achieve 3-, 5-, and 10-percent fire chemical treatment. Stream water was used as a control. Chambers were pre- 76 rinsed with deionized water and 20 mL of the appropriate stock solution were added to each chamber. Snails 77 were exposed for 10-15 minutes or 45-60 minutes. There were four replicates for each chemical treatment at 78 each exposure time. Five snails were randomly placed on small segments of 1-mm fiberglass screening. The 79 screen segments were floated in petri dishes containing spring water during this procedure. One fiberglass 80 screen segment was randomly added to each chamber. Following exposure, each chamber was carefully 81 decanted through a section of fiberglass screening. Snails were gently rinsed with stream water and placed in 82 recovery chambers, 30-mL polystyrene cups, filled with 20 mL of control water (stream water). After 48 hours, 83 snails were placed under dissection scopes to look for signs of life at 10-20x magnification. Each snail was 84 viewed for as much as 5 minutes. If no movement was detected, the snail was gently prodded. Snails were 85 recorded as dead if they did not move after 5 minutes or after prodding. 86 87 Water Quality Measurements 88 Water samples collected at the onset of the exposures were shipped on ice overnight to CERC, where the 89 samples were analyzed for hardness, alkalinity, and total ammonia as described in Kemble and others (1993). 90 Temperature, specific conductance, and pH were measured at the time of the tests. Water quality variables 8 91 remained within acceptable ranges throughout all tests, however the total ammonia concentration, alkalinity, 92 and specific conductivity increased with increasing concentrations of Chemguard First Class and SILV-EX Plus 93 (table 1). Conductivity also increased for First Response and PHOS-CHEK WD881 and alkalinity increased for 94 PHOS-CHEK WD881. 95 96 97 Statistical Analysis Dreissenid veliger survival was tested for differences at each interval between control and treatments 98 using Fisher’s Exact Tests (O’Rourke and others, 2005).. D. geminata survival was tested for differences 99 between control and 10 percent fire foam treatments after the 45-60-minute exposure endpoint with 1 tailed, t- 100 tests. D. geminata survival data were arcsin square root transformed before analysis. The analysis was limited to 101 the 10 percent treatment because the organisms were unaffected by lower concentrations. D. geminata survival 102 data also were tested for normality and homogeneity of variances. The appropriate t-test (equal or unequal 103 variances test) was used. To test for the effects of concentration and contact time, P. antipodarum survival was 104 analyzed with two-way ANOVAs and tested for normality and homogeneity (O’Rourke and others, 2005). 105 107 Results indicate that fire foam suppression chemicals will not eliminate invasive organisms 108 Survival of dreissenid veligers was significantly reduced compared to controls after a 10 minute exposure at all 109 concentrations of Chemguard First Class. Only one veliger survived in the 3 percent treatment and zero 110 veligers survived in the 5 and 10 percent treatments (fig. 1). First Response did not significantly reduce survival 111 in any concentrations after 10-15 minutes but it did significantly reduce survival in all concentrations after 45- 112 60 minutes when compared to survival in the control treatment (fig. 1). PHOS-CHEKWD881 significantly 113 reduced survival (p< 0.01) in all concentrations after 10-15 minutes when compared to survival in the control 114 treatment with only one veliger surviving the 5 percent treatment. After 45-60 minutes, there were no surviving 106 9 115 veligers in any of the PHOS-CHEK WD881 treatments. 116 SILV-EX Plus significantly reduced survival (p<0.01) in the 5- and 10 percent concentrations after 10-15 117 minutes and in all concentrations after 45-60 minutes when compared to the control treatment with only one 118 veliger surviving the 3 percent SIL-EX Plus treatment after 45-60 minutes. 119 120 121 D. geminata Chemguard First Class did not significantly reduce the number of viable cells in the 10 percent treatment 122 after 10-15 minute or 45-60 minute exposures when compared to cells in the control treatment (p=0.9213, fig. 123 2). There was no significant reduction in cell viability between D. geminata segments treated with 10 percent 124 First Response and the control treatment after 10-15 minute or 45-60 minutes. PHOS-CHEK WD881 did not 125 significantly reduce the number of viable cells in the 10 percent treatment after 10-15 minutes or 45-60 minutes 126 when compared to cells in the control treatment (p=0.4539). SILV-EX Plus significantly reduced the number of 127 viable cells in D. geminata segments treated with the 10 percent solution after 45-60 minutes compared to the 128 number of viable cells in segments in the control treatment with an approximately 18 percent reduction in viable 129 cells in the treated segments (p=0.0092). The 10-15 minute SILV-EX Plus exposures did not significantly 130 reduce the number of viable cells. 131 132 Chemguard First Class did not significantly reduce survival of P. antipodarum after 10-15 minutes or 133 45-60 minutes (p=0.2008, fig. 3). First Response did significantly reduce survival after 45-60 minutes with an 134 approximately 15 percent reduction in the 10 percent treatment (p=0.0346). There was no mortality in any 135 PHOS-CHEK WD881 treatments after 10-15 or 45-60 minutes. SILV-EX Plus did not significantly reduce 136 survival of P. antipodarum after 10-15 or 45-60 minutes (p=0.4262.) 137 10 138 139 Discussion The objective of this study was to determine if any of the four fire suppression foams tested could be 140 used on firefighting equipment to prevent the spread of three potentially invasive species, including the 141 dreissenid zebra and quagga mussels, Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena bugensis; didymo, Didymosphenia 142 geminata; and New Zealand mudsnail, Potamopyrgus antipodarum. Our research demonstrates that none of the 143 foams would function as an effective sanitizer for all aquatic invasive species. 144 Of the three species tested, dreissenid veligers were the most sensitive to the foams. Except for First 145 Response, all of the foams were 100 percent lethal to the veligers after 45-60 minutes of exposure in 5- or 10 146 percent solutions. A 10-15 minute exposure to a 5- or 10 percent solution of Chemguard was sufficient to 147 completely kill all veligers in this study. None of the foams would protect against the transfer of P. antipodarum 148 or D. geminata as the largest reduction in survival for either species in this study was 18 percent. Except for P. 149 antipodarum, we did not assess survival after transferring the organism from the fire suppression foams to 150 control water. Shorter contact times may have proven more lethal after some amount of recovery time, as 151 Britton and Dingman (2011) determined when exposing zebra and /quagga mussel veligers to quaternary 152 ammonia compounds. Britton and Dingman (2011) determined that survival of zebra and quagga mussel 153 veligers dramatically decreased after 60 minutes in control water following a 5 or 10 minute exposure to a 3 154 percent solution of a quaternary ammonia solution. Although we did not assess survival following a recovery 155 time for zebra and quagga mussel veligers or for D. geminata, our second contact time at 45-60 minute) was 156 much longer than exposure periods used by Britton and Dingman (2011), so it is unlikely that mortality would 157 have been greater if the organisms were placed in control water for the remaining time. 158 Current guidelines in the USFS Intermountain Region Technical Guidance on Preventing Spread of 159 Aquatic Invasive Organisms Common to the Intermountain Region (United States Department of Agriculture, 160 2013) list effective methods of control for all three of the organisms tested in this study. Based on our results, 161 fire suppression foams do not appear to prevent the spread of these invasive species. 11 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 References Cited American Society for Testing and Materials (2006) ASTM guide E729–96 (2002) Standard guide for conducting acute toxicity tests with fishes, macroinvertebrates, and amphibians.
