Project Detail

TOWN OF BARNES: Upper Eau Claire Lake CLP Early Detection/Response 2012-2016

Purpose

The Town of Barnes is sponsoring a four-year curlyleaf pondweed response project on Upper Eau Claire, Bayfield County, to do the following activities: community information and education; improved signage; aquatic plant survey and management plan; and curlyleaf pondweed management (e.g. manual removal, herbicide treatment) and monitoring. This project may include monitoring nearby lakes and/or management planning. Project deliverables include: 1) A project report summarizing information/education, management, and monitoring activities; 2) Pre-post treatment and other monitoring data/results; 3) Aquatic Plant Management Plan, if necessary. This scope is intended to summarize the detailed project scope provided in the application and does not supersede those application tasks/deliverables. 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.
