Evaluating alternatives for plant management on the water body to complete a comprehensive aquatic plant management plan to be used for implementation by the Sandstone Flowage Association. 4. A plan for early detection of aquatic invasive species will be include will be included in the plant management plan. 5. Volunteers will be sought and trained to implement the Clean Boats Clean Waters Program on the water body. 6. Marinette County will continue to work with the Sandstone Flowage Association to implement the management plan.

Products and deliverables will include a comprehensive aquatic plant management plan. Two hard copies and two electronic copies on CD of all data and the plan will be distributed to the Wisconsin DNR and copies will be distributed to the Sandstone Flowage Association board members.

Thunder Lake Club Ltd: Thunder Lake Apm Planning Project: This project builds upon a previous large planning grant in order to strengthen an Aquatic Plant Management Plan currently written and developing a plan for early detection of invasive species and AIS response plan. The tasks will include the following:

1. Conducting an inventory of the aquatic plant community on Thunder using WDNR recommended survey methodology.
2. Identifying problems ad threats to aquatic ecosystem by invasive species along with developing realistic goals for management of Eurasian water milfoil(EWM).
3. Identify management objectives to restore native plant communities and target levels of EWM control.
4. Identify and analyze alternative actions for EWM control.
5. Develop an education plan for TIE Area Lakes Association and community members and develop a community outreach program to distribute AIS prevention information such as the initiating the Clean Boats, Clean Waters program on the lake and Eagle Lake while improving signage at access points.

Two electronic copies and one hard copy of all data and the final project report will be provided to the DNR. At least 4 hard copies of the project data and final report and maps will be provided to the TIE Area Lakes Association.
Marinette County LWCD will assist the TIE Lakes Association with implementation and update of the aquatic plant management program as needed.

Northwoods Land Trust, Inc.: Forest County River Conservation Project: Northwood\2019s Land Trust, Inc. proposes to conduct a direct mail education campaign with all property owners on the priority river and stream segments in Forest County that were identified by the DNR Northern Rivers Initiative. An information packet will be provided highlighting voluntary conservation options those property owners can utilize to protect the priority stream corridors. Those options include conservation easements, land donation, land registry and conservation buyer programs. Individual on site property assessments and conservation planning will be conducted with any landowners who express interest.

The project includes the following goals: 1) Direct mail information packets describing voluntary conservation options private landowners can utilize to protect their properties. This information will include how the options can protect land while also providing income, estate and other tax benefits to landowners. The mailing will include all private property owners with at least 500 feet of natural shoreline on these priority river segments; 2) Conduct on-site follow-up contacts with interested landowners as generated by mailing and media publicity; 3) Encourage interested landowners to voluntarily enter into perpetual land protection agreements or utilize other land protection tools to protect their priority river/stream segments.

Project deliverables include: 1) Copies of color GIS maps of each of the towns with digitized parcel maps will be provided to illustrate the parcels/landowners identified within 500 + feet of existing natural shoreline frontage; 2) A generalized listing of Forest County landowner follow-up contacts by program type will be provided.

The WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of all data and or reports/plans generated as a result of this project.

Trout Unlimited-Wild River Chapter: Spencer Creek - Reconnecting Coldwater Habitat: Wild Rivers Trout Unlimited will be sponsoring a restoration project on Spencer Creek, Forest County, WI. The project will replace an undersized culvert that is restricting flow and, is creating sediment deposition upstream from the culvert and scouring downstream from the culvert. The perched culvert is also impeding fish passage. Replacement of this barrier will reconnect 5 miles of Spencer Creek to the Rat River system and 1.56 miles of Swan Creek.

Project goals: Restore the instream habitat and aquatic connectivity of Spencer Creek. Additional expected project accomplishments include: elimination of impounding conditions upstream from Flanner Road; restoration of natural stream velocities both up and downstream of the road crossing; restoration of trout and other aquatic organism movement throughout the entirety of Spencer Creek and in and out of the Rat River, allowing natural movements to complete life history stages, increase coldwater refuge areas during warm water periods in the Rat River and, increase genetic diversity among the trout population in the entire system; reconnecting 5 miles of Spencer Creek; reconnecting use of 1.56 miles of Swan Creek.

Project deliverables: A post construction report describing monitoring conducted to document changes in velocity, water depth, silt depth, substrate type, invertebrate abundance and a mark and recapture study to ensure that fish are moving through the newly installed culvert. Temp thermistors will also be deployed to document any changes in upstream water temperatures.

Specific conditions for this Project: The WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of all data and or reports/plans generated as a result of this project.
