NORTH & SOUTH TWIN LAKES RIPARIAN ASSN: North & South Twin Lakes AIS Control & Prevention; Phase 2
North and South Twin Lakes Riparian Association (NSTLRA), is sponsoring two AIS ACEI grants on North and South Twin Lakes in Vilas County to be completed by June 30, 2012. This is a four year project that will focus on Eurasian Water Milfoil (EWM) management, and AIS education, prevention and monitoring. Phase 1 focuses on Treatment Monitoring and Stakeholder Participation. Phase 2 focuses on Treatment Implementation. The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM to less than 10 acres. This will allow the Town of Phelps and NSTLRA to continue management of AIS with minimal state financial assistance.
Project activities include: 1) Annual chemical treatments of EWM; 2) Hand removal by divers 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) Develop annual project report and a final report.
