Project Detail

MARINETTE COUNTY LAND CONSERVATION COMMITTEE: Marinette County Yellow Floating Heart

Purpose

The Marinette County Land Information Department proposes to control Yellow Floating Heart in the Tessmer Pond, located at T34N/S13/R19E, by implementing control measures during the period 2013-2015. The project elements and deliverables are specified in the Marinette County Land Information Department\2019s Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant application, dated February 8, 2013. Since the eradication of Yellow Floating heart has not been fully identified under these special circumstances, the project contains multiple strategies including; controlling Yellow Floating Heart with aquatic herbicide treatments, a drawdown, torching the seed bank perimeter, or hydraulic dredging. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the three-year project will be provided to DNR. Any publications produced as part of the project will incorporate the \201CStop Aquatic Hitchhikers!\201D\2122 brand (partnership details can be found at: http://www.protectyourwaters.org). If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended that the Grantee provide the DNR Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR will be provided both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee\2019s final payment request. All information associated with this project is subject to public record.

Reports and Documents

2013 Through 2014 Interim Report on Yellow Floating Heart (YFH) Control Activities

Initial herbicidal treatments did not work, so the pond was drawn down and treatment was attempted again. Even after the pond was drawn down, sediment remained moist enough to support YFH growth, so continued treatment and hand pulling continued.
