Project Detail

GREEN LAKE SANITARY DISTRICT: Big Green Lk Established Infestation Control Project

Purpose

Green Lake Sanitary District proposes to control existing infestations of carp, Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) and purple loosestrife in Green Lake during the period 2006 - 2007. The project elements and deliverables are specified in Green Lake Sanitary District's Aquatic Invasive Species Grant application, dated January 25, 2006. The project includes controlling carp through removal activities and the operation of carp barriers; monitoring the extent of EWM annually; conducting an aquatic plant survey in Silver Creek using the point-intercept method; performing biocontrol of purple loosestrife, including building, operating and maintaining plant nurseries; and developing a long-range funding strategy for aquatic invasive species control. Mechanical harvesting of EWM for purposes of nuisance relief will not be reimbursed. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the two-year project will be provided to DNR. If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended the Grantee provide the DNR Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR to receive both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee's final payment request.
