GRINDSTONE LAKE ASSOCIATION: AIS Control for Curly Leaf Pondweed and Eurasian Water Milfoil in Little Grindstone Lake

The Grindstone Lake Association (GLA) is sponsoring a project to implement approved AIS management activities from their comprehensive lake management plan.

Activities:

1) Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) and curly leaf pondweed (CLP) management (hand pulling);

2) Annual early and late summer AIS meander/bed mapping surveys.

Deliverables:

1) EWM and CLP management and required permit reporting (if necessary);

2) Data from AIS surveys;

3) Annual and final AIS management and monitoring reports.

Conditions:

1) If AIS hand pulling will utilize diver assisted suction harvest (DASH) then an aquatic plant management permit from DNR is required.

2) All monitoring shall follow DNR protocols.

This scope summarizes details provided in the application and does not negate tasks and/or deliverables described therein. Data, reports, surveys, and supporting information, including photos, maps and GIS data, must be submitted to the DNR Biologist in electronic format and in any other format they specify.

If a consultant provides a final report, it is recommended that the Grantee provide the DNR Biologist with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making a final payment to the consultant. Include electronic copy of the final report along with or prior to submission of grantee's final payment request.
