Purpose

The City of Eagle River is sponsoring an AIRR grant to be completed by June 30, 2011. The project will focus on chemically treating a pioneer EWM population following a successful EWM control effort in Silver Lake. The project will also update the Silver Lake Management Plan.

Project deliverables include: 1)A 2009 treatment report describing the findings of the pre and post treatment surveys, GPS locations, and guidance for continued control actions in 2010; 2)Updated management plan; 3)PI data, aquatic plant community maps and 2 sets of vouchers; 4)6 hours of AIS monitoring.
