RICE LAKE P & R DISTRICT: Rice Lake 2011-12 APM Plan Continued Implementation Project

Rice Lake Protection & Rehabilitation District is sponsoring a 3-year project to implement approved activities from its Aquatic Plant Management Plan. Activities include CLP chemical treatment; endothall residual monitoring; annual pre- and post-treatment aquatic plant surveys; AIS monitoring and watercraft inspection program; public meetings and outreach; and annual reporting. The project requires the following project updates annually: technical report with subsequent year\2019s treatment/harvesting plan and communication (i.e. meeting or letter) with lake group. Deliverables include aquatic plant survey results (spreadsheets and GIS maps); watercraft inspection and AIS monitoring data collection and SWIMS entry; I & E products; and an updated Aquatic Plant Management Plan. This information will be provided in an annual progress and final report with pre- and post-treatment monitoring results and treatment plan for the next year. Special Conditions: All monitoring and management should follow approved recommendations within the Horseshoe Lake Aquatic Plant Management Plan, WDNR\2019s Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance, and/or Citizen Lake Monitoring Network protocols, as specified by the Department. This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Coordinator.
