MINONG FLOWAGE ASSOCIATION: 2012 Whole-lake Point Intercept Plant Survey; Weevil Rearing Support & Residual Testing Project

The Minong Flowage Association is sponsoring an AIS prevention & education project to study the flowage prior to the upcoming drawdown. The project includes continued CB/CW inspection/education program; EWM weevil rearing, CLP bed mapping, a point intercept aquatic plant study, and residual herbicide testing. Data collected will be used to update the APM Plan and address wildlife habitat.

Deliverables include a comprehensive Report including: 1) a summary of project accomplishments including AIS monitoring results and observations of any detected aquatic invasive species with appropriate maps; 2) CB/CW report including time and number of people reached and survey results; daily results will be entered into SWIMS database; 3) Report on EWM Weevil rearing; 4) Verification of workshops/training such as agendas and attendance lists; 5) Report on CLP bed mapping; 6) Report on warm water point intercept survey; 7) Report on residual herbicide treatment testing; 8) Copies of educational materials paid by this grant; 9) AIS related materials generated or paid for by this grant.

Special project conditions: 1) WDNR\2019s Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance must be followed for point-intercept survey monitoring and/or aquatic plant management plan development; 2) Sponsor shall immediately contact DNR if a new aquatic invasive species is found.

This scope summarizes details provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the AIS Coordinator. It is recommended that Grantee provide AZIS Coordinator with a draft final report. If consultant is to provide final report, it is recommended that Grantee provide AIS Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. The DNR shall receive a paper and electronic copy of the final report
