Project partners include Wisconsin Public Service and Packaging Corp. of America and will focus on EWM management, and AIS education, prevention and monitoring. The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM to less than 50 acres and have a density rating below D=1 which will allow the Friends of Lake Mohawksin to continue management of AIS with minimal state financial assistance.
