Little St Germain Lake P&R District is sponsoring a four year project on Little St Germain Lake and Muskellunge Creek focusing on Curly Lake Pondweed (CLP) and Eurasian Water Milfoil (EWM) management, AIS education, prevention and monitoring. The goal is to reduce the densities of CLP and EWM below dominant and the treatable CLP to <20 acres and treatable EWM to <15 acres and have a EWM frequency of <1.8% of the littoral PI points of whole lake PI survey.
