Project Detail

TOWN OF DAYTON: Stratton Lake AIS Educ, Prevention & Plg Project

Purpose

The Town of Dayton, on behalf of the Stratton Lake Association, proposes to develop an Aquatic Plant Management (APM) Plan in 2007, which will focus on native plant protection and prevention, and control of aquatic invasive species (AIS). The project elements and deliverables are specified in the Town of Dayton Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant application, dated February 1, 2007, and revised on April 18, 2007. The project includes using aquatic plant survey data generated by Department of Natural Resources staff; determining the extent, distribution and density of Eurasian water-milfoil and any other AIS; preparing and developing an APM Plan consistent with DNR guidelines, including an AIS prevention and control plan; educating lake users of native plant protection and AIS prevention and control measures; and implementing the "Clean Boats, Clean Waters" watercraft inspection program. Watercraft inspection records will be entered into the State's online Watercraft Inspection Database. The final report will include the Stratton Lake Association Aquatic Plant Management Plan that conforms to guidance found in the DNR/UW-Extension publication, "Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin". 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.
