Calumet County Resource Management Department proposes to collect baseline data for the four lakes situated along the Calumet/Manitowoc County boarder which includes Round, Becker, Boot, and Long Lakes. The project will be divided into several phases which will ultimately result in a comprehensive lake management and implementation plan for these lakes. Phase 1 will include: 1. Intensive water quality monitoring to assess baseline conditions of each lake. 2. Watershed assessment review to verify watershed boundaries, update general land use and perform basic predictive modeling. 3. Assess the aquatic plant community utilizing early-season aquatic invasive species survey, point-intercept survey, and aquatic plant community mapping. 4. Provide for stakeholder participation and education by holding a kickoff meeting and two project update meetings.
