DANE COUNTY: Aquatic Mgmt Plan Amendment
Dane County Office of Lakes and Watersheds will update Aquatic Plant Management (APM) Plans on the following lakes: Crystal, Fish, Indian, Lower Mud, Upper Mud, and the Yahara River between Lakes Monona and Kegonsa. All these waters are sources of established populations of Eurasian watermilfoil, among other exotics, and are managed via county harvesting operations. In addition, the new Lake Belle View may require harvesting, so a new APM plan will be developed for that lake. Updated monitoring and amended plans are recommended by DNR for the other waters. A consultant will use established point intercept maps to survey current plant populations, and use those data to re-evaluate management plans, ensuring that the best management options are being implemented.
Regular updates are presented in public meetings to Dane County staff and the Dane County Lakes and Watershed Commission. Updated plans are posted on the county website.
