WAUPACA CHAIN O'LAKES PUBLIC INLAND LAKE P&R: Waupaca Chain O'Lakes AIS Treatment & Education Project

The Waupaca Chain O'Lakes Protection & Rehab District (the District) proposes to control curly-leaf pondweed (CLP), Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) through chemical treatment & preventative measures in the Waupaca Chain O'Lakes (the Chain) during the period 2010-14. Proposed purple loosestrife (PL) control will employ Galerucella spp. beetles as a biological control agent. The project elements & deliverables are specified in the Districts' AIS Control Grant Application, dated 7.28.09. The project includes conducting annual pre-treatment & post-treatment surveys to monitor the extent of CLP, EWM, & PL to determine efficacy of treatments, treating CLP & EWM infested areas with aquatic herbicides, & continuing education & prevention activities, including Citizen Lake Monitoring (CLMN), Clean Boats Clean Waters (CB/CW), and native shoreline restoration.
