The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM to less than 10 acres, have the frequency of EWM being observed at less than 10% of littoral point-intercept (PI) locations within a whole-lake survey and all EWM stands below a density of D=1.

Project activities:: 1) Annual EWM chemical treatments; 2) Annual pre/post treatment monitoring and analysis; 3) Project kick-off meeting, wrap-up meeting and AIS training; 4) PL monitoring and control and landing signs; 5) Annual volunteer AIS monitoring and hand removal; 6) Purchase GPS unit for volunteer monitoring; 7) Water quality sampling (P, secchi, chla, DO and temp) and WILMS modeling; 8) CB/CW with volunteers and paid inspector; 9) Entry of inspection forms 3200-120 and monitoring forms onto Dept. website; 10) PI aquatic plant survey and community mapping; 11) Annual project reports and final report.
