Project Detail

SAND LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Phase 1: Aquatic Plant Survey of Sand Lake

Purpose

The Sand Lake Management District will conduct a comprehensive two 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 has been recently documented in Sand Lake and these projects are a part of the ongoing aquatic plant management planning process being conducted by the Lake District on Sand Lake. Activities for this particular Phase 1 grant project include; conducting an aquatic macrophyte survey during the summer of 2005, monitoring for the presence and abundance of the milfoil weevil (Euhrychiopsis lecontei), conducting a survey of lake district residents, and producing a "partial plan" for the potential early treatment of the exotic milfoil plant areas. Specific deliverables for this grant project include: \00B7 A comprehensive final report including the 2005 plant survey results, the "partial plan", and a listing of grant activities and results. 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.
