Project Detail

SHAWANO AREA WATERWAY'S MANAGEMENT ASSOC.: EWM Control

Purpose

Shawano Area Waterway Management proposes to control Eurasian Watermilfoil in Shawano Lake by implementing control measures during the period 2014-2016. The project elements and deliverables are specified in the Shawano Area Waterway Management\2019s Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant application, dated December 12, 2013. The project includes conducting a spring pretreatment confirmation and refinement survey, an early season AIS survey and an EWM peak biomass survey (2014 and 2015) using the DNR Aquatic Plant Treatment Evaluation Protocol http://www4.uwsp.edu/cnr/uwexlakes/ecology/APM/Appendix-D.pdf. The project also includes conducting an acoustic survey, a 2014 chemical application and herbicide monitoring for the purpose controlling Eurasian Watermilfoi . Lastly, the project will implement an aquatic invasive species prevention and control strategy that includes, performing Clean Boats Clean Waters, Citizen Lake Monitoring Network, partnering with Shawano county for shoreland restoration activities, and information meetings. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the 2-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). All Clean Boats Clean Waters and Citizen Lake data will be entered into the SWIMS database. 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.
