Return to Search

Purpose

Big Chetac Chain Lake Association is sponsoring a multi-phase comprehensive lake management planning project for Big Chetac Lake, Sawyer County. The project includes tributary, in-lake, and groundwater monitoring; septic survey; nutrient budget development; pale ecological core; aquatic plant survey and management plan; and community survey and education with a comprehensive lake management and implementation plan as the final deliverable. Phase 5 includes: A full aquatic plant community assessment. The results will show the current status of the aquatic plant community, show the extent and degree of invasive species infestation, and provide a baseline data set to assess future changes to Lake Chetac. Project deliverables include: 1. Conduct an early season survey of Curly Leaf Pondweed to determine the density and extent. A resulting map of locations and densities will be provided. 2. A standard point intercept aquatic plant survey will be conducted. 3. Voucher specimens will be collected. 4. Data will be entered into excel. Specific conditions for this Project: 1. The WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of all data and or reports/plans generated as a result of this project. 2. 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.
