The goal is to reduce the densities of CLP and EWM below dominant and the treatable CLP to <20 acres and treatable EWM to <15 acres and have a EWM frequency of <1.8% of the littoral PI points of whole lake PI survey. This project was partially funded through grant ACEI-065-09 and this grant is a continuation of the same project. Project activities include: 1) Annual chemical treatments of CLP and EWM; 2) Annual pre/post treatment monitoring and analysis; 3) Annual volunteer AIS monitoring and hand removal; 4) Purchase GPS unit and marker buoys for volunteer monitoring; 5) CB/CW program through a paid inspector; 6) Entry of inspection and monitoring forms onto Dept website; 7) Install innovative signage at boat landing; 8)Point-intercept (PI) aquatic plant survey and community mapping; 9) Annual and final reports. Project deliverables include: 1) Chemical control of CLP and EWM; 2) Pre/post treatment, PI survey and community mapping data; 3) Hand removal and annual mapping of CLP and EWM; 4) Completed entry of inspection and monitoring forms onto Dept website; 5) GPS unit and marker buoys and 200 hours of annual inspection time; 6) Annual and final reports summarizing project AIS management and future AIS management suggestions, CB/CW activities, AIS monitoring and AIS educational activities.
