MID LAKE PROTECTION & MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Curly Leaf Pondweed Treatment & Survey

The Mid Lake District will sponsor a project to treat curly-leaf pondweed during the Spring of 2005, with the goal of early eradication. The District 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.

Activites:

1) Pioneer beds of curly-leaf pondweed will be chemically treated in accordance with the Department issued Aquatic Plant Management permit.

2) Pre and post treatment surveys (for known and unknown areas of infestation) mapping the location and densities of CLP will be conducted.

3) A final report will be made available to the DNR, Oneida County Land Conservation Dept., local lake associations, districts, and media.
