Project Detail

WHEELER LAKE ASSN, INC: Wheeler Lake AIS Rapid Response Project

Purpose

The Wheeler Lake Association proposes to control Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) in Wheeler Lake by implementing control measures during the period 2006 - 2009. The project elements and deliverables are specified in the Wheeler Lake Association's Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant application, dated January 10, 2007. The project includes conducting pre- and post-treatment surveys and mapping the extent of EWM; controlling EWM with aquatic herbicide treatments; and implementing an aquatic invasive species prevention strategy that includes developing an awareness & education program, and conducting watercraft inspection. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the four-year project will be provided to DNR. Watercraft inspection records will be entered into the State's online Watercraft Inspection Database. If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended that 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 will be provided both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee's final payment request. Any publications produced as part of the project will incorporate the "Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!"\FFFD brand.
