LONG LAKE OF PHELPS LAKE DISTRICT: Long Lake AIS 5 Year Control Plan

Long Lake District is sponsoring an AIS - Controlling Established Infestations grant on Long Lake in Vilas County to be completed by December 31, 2012. This is a five year project that will focus on EWM management, and AIS education, prevention and monitoring. The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM to less than 10 acres. This will allow the Long Lake District to continue management of AIS on their own.

Project activities include:

1) Annual chemical treatments of EWM

2) Manual removal of EWM as an experimental EWM control technique

3) Annual Pre and Post treatment monitoring and analysis

4) Annual volunteer AIS monitoring

5) Recruit volunteers and implement a CB/CW program

6) Entry of inspection forms 3200-120 and monitoring forms onto Dept website

7) Point-intercept aquatic plant survey with 2 sets of vouchers

8) Develop annual project report and an updated APM plan
