Project Detail

MINONG FLOWAGE ASSOCIATION: Minong Flowage 2010-2012 EWM Education, Management, Assessment & Control Project

Purpose

Minong Flowage Association is sponsoring a 3-year project to implement approved activities from the Minong Flowage Aquatic Plant Management Plan. Approved activities include chemical treatment and manual removal of Eurasian watermilfoil; herbicide residual monitoring; annual pre- and post-treatment aquatic plant surveys; EWM weevil, curlyleaf pondweed, and wild rice monitoring/mapping; temp/DO meter purchase and expanded water quality testing; implementation of a watercraft inspection program; public meetings and outreach; and annual reporting. Deliverables include GIS maps of areas monitored; aquatic plant survey results (spreadsheets and narrative summary); watercraft inspection data collection and entry in SWIMS database; information and education products; and Aquatic Plant Management Plan updates, as necessary. This information will be provided in an annual progress report with pre- and post-treatment monitoring results and treatment plan for the next year, as well as a final project report. Special Conditions: All monitoring and management should follow approved recommendations within the Minong Flowage Aquatic Plant Management Plan, WDNR\2019s Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance, and/or Citiizen Lake Monitoring Network protocols, as specified by the Department. 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 Coordinator.

Reports and Documents

Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) Pre/Post Herbicide and Bed Mapping Surveys [Part 2]

Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) was first identified in the Minong Flowage in 2002. Since 2009, the Minong Flowage Association, under the direction of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson, Inc. (SEHI), has been actively managing the infestation using herbicide treatments as outlined in the flowage’s WDNR approved Aquatic Plant Management Plan (APMP).
