SAWYER COUNTY: Callahan/Mud Lakes EWM Control

The Callahan Lake Protective Association in cooperation with Sawyer County Land Conservation Department (Project Sponsor) will conduct an early season herbicide treatment on 16 acres of Eurasian Water Milfoil (EWM). EWM was discovered in 2005 and there is approximately 30 acres within the 585 combined lake acreage.

The project includes the following goals: 1. An early season herbicide treatment on 16 acres of EWM in high traffic areas in Callahan Lake to control the spread. 2. Placement of educational signs at all boat landings. 3. Monitor the EWM throughout the year to determine efficacy of the herbicide treatment and to continue the mapping of EWM. 4. Educate lake association members about EWM, herbicide treatments, other control measures through newsletter articles and trainings.
