Project Detail

BIG WOOD LAKE ASSOCIATION, INC.: Big Wood Lake 2008 AIS Education Project

Purpose

The Big Wood Lake Association is sponsoring an AIS prevention and education project including public education of boaters during boat launches, boat inspections, riparian and in-lake aquatic AIS inspections. Bimonthly aquatic plant surveys will be performed via scuba inspections of critical areas (boat ramp and both inflow areas) with suspected invasive aquatic macrophyte samples sent to a herbarium for identification. Property owners will conduct shoreline surveys for AIS. Deliverables include a paper and electronic copy of final report including: 1) A summary of project accomplishments detailing total time spent on the project, number of people reached, and landing postings; 2) Education session/workshop agendas; 3) Aquatic plant survey results including graphs and maps from scuba inspections and riparian inspections; 4) Examples of articles, newsletters, and other AIS related materials generated or paid for by this grant. Special conditions for this project: The sponsor shall immediately contact the DNR in the event of a new aquatic invasive species infestation. This scope is intended to summarize the detailed scope provided in the grant application and does not supersede grant application specifics. 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. If a consultant is to provide final report, it is recommended that Grantee provide DNR Lake Coordinator with a draft for comment prior to making final payment to the consultant.
