SAND LAKE SHOREOWNERS ASSOC: Sand Lake Aquatic Plant Survey & Aquatic Plant Management Plan

The Sand Lake Shoreowner Association is sponsoring a project to conduct an aquatic plant survey and develop an Aquatic Plant Management plan for Sand Lake. At the present time Sand Lake is aquatic invasive species (AIS) free. The association desires an approved APM Plan to address the management of aquatic plants and especially how to prevent AIS from becoming established in the lake.

Project goals include (APM Plan): 1) Develop an APM Plan for Sand Lake to guide future management actions; 2) Conduct a point-intercept aquatic plant study to establish a baseline; 3) Educate lake residents about AIS activities and control options; 4) Implement a Clean Boats Clean Waters (CBCW) Program; 5) Train shoreline volunteer monitors for AIS.
