CITY OF OSHKOSH: Miller's Bay APM Plan Development

Purpose

The City of Oshkosh proposes to develop an Aquatic Plant Management (APM) Plan in 2008, 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 City of Oshkosh Invasive Species Control Grant application, dated February 1, 2008. The project includes using aquatic plant survey data generated by the consultant; 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. The final report will include the City of Oshkosh 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.
