BIG CHETAC CHAIN LAKE ASSOCIATION: Phase 5 - Full Aquatic Plant Assessment

Big Chetac Chain Lake Association is sponsoring a multi-phase comprehensive lake management planning project for Big Chetac Lake, Sawyer County. The project includes tributary, in-lake, and groundwater monitoring; septic survey; nutrient budget development; pale ecological core; aquatic plant survey and management plan; and community survey and education with a comprehensive lake management and implementation plan as the final deliverable.

Phase 5 includes: A full aquatic plant community assessment. The results will show the current status of the aquatic plant community, show the extent and degree of invasive species infestation, and provide a baseline data set to assess future changes to Lake Chetac.
