GREEN LAKE SANITARY DISTRICT: Big Green Lk Established Infestation Control Project

Green Lake Sanitary District proposes to control existing infestations of carp, Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) and purple loosestrife in Green Lake during the period 2006 - 2007. The project elements and deliverables are specified in Green Lake Sanitary District's Aquatic Invasive Species Grant application, dated January 25, 2006. The project includes controlling carp through removal activities and the operation of carp barriers; monitoring the extent of EWM annually; conducting an aquatic plant survey in Silver Creek using the point-intercept method; performing biocontrol of purple loosestrife, including building, operating and maintaining plant nurseries; and developing a long-range funding strategy for aquatic invasive species control. Mechanical harvesting of EWM for purposes of nuisance relief will not be reimbursed.
