SAND LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: 2017-2019 3-yr AIS Management Planning and Education Project

Purpose

The Sand Lake Management District is sponsoring a 3-year project to conduct AIS education, monitoring, and management planning activities. Deliverables include AIS monitoring & watercraft inspection data in SWIMS, examples of AIS education & outreach, and post treatment aquatic plant survey results. Specific project activities include: 1) Watercraft inspection; 2) Volunteer AIS monitoring; 3) AIS outreach & education; 4) EWM monitoring and treatment planning; 5) Post treatment whole lake point intercept plant survey. Special Conditions: 1) Sponsor shall contact DNR immediately if a new AIS is found; 2) Watercraft inspection and AIS monitoring personnel shall be trained and follow DNR approved protocols; 3) Watercraft inspection and AIS monitoring data shall be entered in SWIMS; 4) Education materials shall be consistent with the Department\2019s statewide education strategy for preventing and controlling AIS; 5) WDNR\2019s Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance shall be followed for point-intercept survey monitoring.

Land Lake - PI Survey - 2018-2019

Warm-water Point-intercept Survey - Sand Lake, Barron County - July-Aug, 2018

The 2018 survey found macrophytes at 474 points (96.3% of the 16.0ft littoral zone). This was nearly identical to 2017 (474 points - 91.9% of the 19.0ft littoral zone) and similar to the 470 points (90.9% of the then 18.5ft littoral zone) in 2016. We identified 48 species growing in and immediately adjacent to the lake, and the 44 species in the rake (similar to 52/44 in 2017 and 51/43 in 2016) produced a Simpson Diversity Index Value of 0.94 (identical to 2017/2016).
