ENTERPRISE LAKE PROTECTION & REHAB DISTRICT: Enterprise Lake AIS Control & Prevention Project

Enterprise Lake P&R District is sponsoring an AIS ACEI grant on Enterprise Lake, in Langlade County. This project was submitted as a five year project that will focus on EWM and Purple Loosestrife (PL) management, and AIS education, prevention and monitoring. The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM to less than 10 acres and have the frequency of EWM being observed at less than 10% of littoral point-intercept locations within a whole-lake survey. This will allow the District to continue management of AIS with minimal state financial assistance.

Project activities: 1) Annual chemical treatments of EWM; 2) Annual pre/post treatment monitoring and analysis; 3) Project kick-off meeting and AIS training; 4) PL monitoring and control; 5) Annual volunteer AIS monitoring and hand removal; 6) Purchase GPS unit and LDO probe; 7) Water quality sampling (P, DO and temp); 8) Recruit volunteers and implement a CB/CW program; 9) Entry of inspection forms 3200-120 and monitoring forms onto Dept website; 10) Point-intercept (PI) aquatic plant survey and community mapping; 11) Develop annual and final project reports.
