PORTAGE COUNTY LCD: Portage Co EWM Weevil Survey
Portage County proposes to work with the Golden Sands RC&D to conduct surveys of four lakes to estimate populations of EWM controlling weevils (E. lecontei) and to formulate EWM control plans based, in part, on this information. Major project elements include: 1) random stem sample collection and mycroscopic analysis for weevil damage and presence of eggs, pubae and/or adult weevils, 2) GPS coordinates and water quality sampling (temp., DO, secchi depth) at sample locations, 3) development and distribution of a final report summarizing results and recommendations. The final report will be presented to pertinent lake management and protection groups.
