PRICE COUNTY: Musser Lake Early Detection Invasives Control

The Price County Land Conservation in cooperation with the Musser Lake Association will sponsor a project to treat curly-leaf pondweed in Musser Lake, with the goal of early eradication. 38 small areas containing CLP have been marked by the lake association and monitored to date. Beginning in Spring of 2005 areas will be treated in accordance with the Department issued Aquatic Plant Management permit. Follow up treatment of these areas and/or new areas will be conducted in Spring of 2006 and 2007. The association will also provide an educational component to teach area residents of the dangers of aquatic invasive species and control/prevention measures, as well as giving periodic project updates.
