Purpose
This project aims to control curly-leaf pondweed, monitor submersed macrophyte biomass, and monitor success of alum treatments at controlling phosphorus release from sediments.
Specific project activities include:
\2022 Application of Endothall
\2022 Monitor CLP turion frequency in April (prior to treatment), June (peak biomass period), and August (new germination)
\2022 Monitor and quantify native submersed macrophyte biomass response in June and August
\2022 Examine sediment samples for determining effectiveness of alum treatments at sequestering iron-bound phosphorus to reduce internal phosphorus loading
\2022 Monitor water quality parameters for determining effectiveness of alum treatments at maintaining water clarity.
Project final deliverables include: Project deliverables: All data collected, all outreach and event materials, agendas and minutes from meetings. Specifically:
\2022 Yearly update to interim report \201CLimnological Analysis of Half Moon Lake\201D
This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. 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 Biologist.
