Project Detail

DUCKS UNLIMITED: LMI - Lake Puckaway Habitat Restor,: Dredgebank Restoration - Ph 2

Purpose

Ducks Unlimited is sponsoring a management plan implementation project to reconstruct a dredge-bank that will reduce wind/wave energy thereby restoring aquatic plants which in turn will improve water quality in Lake Puckaway. This grant represents Phase 2 of the project. Phase 1 of this project is funded in part with WDNR grant LPT67020. Specific project activities include: 1) Phase 2 will construct at least 1,000 feet of riprap break-wall. A combined total of 2,500 feet of riprap break-wall will be built as a result of both Phase 1 (grant LPT67020) & Phase 2 grants, 2) Conduct water quality monitoring at 3 stations in 2022 & 2023, 3) Complete two plant surveys, 4) Compare and contrast new plant data with historic plant information. Project final deliverables include: All design plans, pre/post photographs of project area and a final summary report. Specific conditions: 1) All permits must be issued before construction, and all regulatory requirements apply. 2) The riprap staging area and boat landing must be maintained and if necessary, restored to pre-project condition. The final summary report will be submitted to the DNR area lake biologist in draft form for comment and approval prior to submittal of finished product. The specific objectives, activities, metrics, and deliverables for the listed activities are explicated in the application and supporting materials.
