Pipe and North Pipe Lakes Protection and Rehabilitation District is sponsoring a two-phase watershed, shoreline, and aquatic plant community assessment, action planning, and implementation project. The final deliverable will be a report containing collected data summaries, aquatic plant and shoreline assessments, nutrient loading and modeling results, public outreach summary and presentations, and an implementation plan that includes preliminary watershed best-management-practice designs, feasibility, and cost estimates/comparisons. The purpose of this project is to determine where and what lake protection activities are needed. Phase 2 includes: 1. Whole-lake shoreline assessment, including identification and mapping of areas of erosion and inadequate buffering. 2. Point-intercept aquatic plant surveys (one for each lake) and two voucher specimen collections, following WDNR's Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance. 3. Early-season curlyleaf pondweed survey. 4. Written summary of aquatic plant survey, results, and recommendations, including a comparison to historic surveys. 5. Stakeholder meetings and updates. Special Condition: Shoreline assessment methodology must be approved by the Department before survey takes place. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Coordinator. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper and an electronic copy of the final report.
