Project Detail

BEAVER DAM LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Aquatic Plant Survey of West Beaver Dam Lake

Purpose

The Beaver Dam Lake Management District will conduct a comprehensive three phase project to document current aquatic plant conditions in the lake and produce an aquatic plant management plan. The exotic invasive plant species Eurasian Water Milfoil was documented in Beaver Dam Lake during the 1990's and these projects are a part of the ongoing aquatic plant management planning process being conducted by the Lake District on Beaver Dam Lake. Activities for this particular West Beaver Dam Lake grant project include; conducting two aquatic macrophyte surveys during the summer of 2005, and monitoring for the presence and abundance of the milfoil weevil (Euhrychiopsis lecontei). Specific deliverables for this grant project include: A comprehensive final report including the data from the two 2005 plant surveys and the milfoil weevil survey. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report. The project results will be disseminated to the public by newsletter(s), public meeting(s), and local newspaper articles.
