DUMMY LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: Little Dummy Lake Plant Survey
Return to Search

Purpose

The Dummy Lake Management District will sponsor a project including a lake point-intercept aquatic plant survey on Little Dummy Lake using the standardized methods outlined by the WI-DNR to compliment the point intercept-survey completed on Big Dummy Lake by a DNR research team in 2006. Upon completion of the aquatic plant survey, the Lake District will have the complete plant information needed to develop an aquatic plant management plan for both lakes. Included in this project is an early season survey of Little Dummy Lake specifically looking for curly-leaf pondweed and Eurasian watermilfoil. Also included, within the seasonal time frame allotted by the DNR, is a full point-intercept aquatic plant survey of 122 points generated by the DNR ISS lakes survey team. A consultant will complete both surveys. In addition, the consultant will summarize in greater detail and in a format similar to the Little Dummy report, the results of the 2006 Big Dummy Lake point-intercept survey including species distribution maps. Deliverables include: 1. Collection and preparation of two sets of plant vouchers for all species found in Little Dummy Lake, one for the DNR and one for the Lake District. 2. Statistical Analysis of Little Dummy Lake plant data including plant species maps generated in Arc View. 3. A final report on the survey including point-intercept grids and coordinates, plant species distribution maps, and lake summary documents in paper and digital format. 4. Statistical Analysis and report of aquatic plant data for Big Dummy Lake collected in 2006 by DNR. Special conditions for this project: The project sponsor shall immediately contact the proper DNR authorities in the event of a new aquatic invasive species infestation is discovered. All deliverables will be in print and in a digital format recognizable by the DNR.
