This is a five year project focusing on EWM management, and AIS education, prevention and monitoring. This grant covers the costs of year\2019s 5 and 6 of implementation. The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM coverage by 80%. This will allow TLA to continue management of EWM with minimal state financial assistance.

Project activities include: 1) Annual chemical treatments of EWM; 2) Manual removal of EWM with hydraulic conveyor; 3) Annual pre/post treatment monitoring and analysis; 4) Conduct paid and volunteer watercraft inspections; 5) Mapping and control of purple loosestrife (PL); 6) Annual volunteer AIS training and monitoring; 7) Entry of inspection and monitoring forms into SWIMS; 8) Educational outreach activities as listed on pages 25-34 of proposal; 9) Volunteer herbicide concentration monitoring; 10) Develop annual project reports and a final report.

Project deliverables include: 1) Chemical, biological and manual control of AIS, including mapping; 2) Pre/post treatment survey and chemical concentration sampling data; 3) Entered inspection and monitoring data into SWIMS; 4) AIS educational activities; 5) Annual reports and final report summarizing AIS management and future AIS management suggestions, inspection activities, AIS monitoring, and AIS educational activities.

Specific project conditions: Annual reports and final report needs Dept review and approval.
