CITY OF EAGLE RIVER: Silver Lake Eurasian Watermilfoil Rapid Response Project
The City of Eagle River is sponsoring an AIRR grant to be completed by June 30, 2011. The project will focus on chemically treating a pioneer EWM population following a successful EWM control effort in Silver Lake. The project will also update the Silver Lake Management Plan.
