Washburn County Lakes And Rivers Association: Baseline Analysis For Potato Lake, Washburn County: The Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association is sponsoring a project in cooperation with the Potato Lake Association, to conduct a comprehensive lake management planning project involving a study and evaluation of Potato Lake in Washburn County. Project activities include; a review of current lake data, conducting a lake use survey, conducting a watershed land use data review and analysis, conducting a shoreline vegetation survey, conducting a multi-parameter "self-help" lake water quality monitoring survey, conducting an aquatic vegetation identification and density survey, conducting an algae bloom analysis, evaluation of all past and current lake management information and developing a final report listing all grant project activities and results.

Specific deliverables for this grant project include: A comprehensive final project report, including a listing of all grant project activities, results, evaluations, and recommendations for future lake management activities.

The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report. The project results will be disseminated to the public by newsletter(s), public meeting(s), and local newspaper articles.

Potato Lake Association Inc.: Potato Lake Aquatic Plant Management Plan, Phase 1: Potato Lake Association is sponsoring a two-phase project to complete an aquatic plant management plan with expanded water quality monitoring and modeling. The final deliverable will be a single lake management plan that includes methodologies, results, and management alternatives discussion.

The specific Phase 1 (LPL-1334-10) project tasks include: 1) Expanded Potato Lake water quality and lake level monitoring and purchase of a dissolved oxygen meter; 2) Tributary and outlet monitoring, including flow calculations; 3) Top/bottom paleoecological core collection, analyses, and report; 4) Planning meetings related to above tasks.

Special Conditions: 1) WDNR\2019s Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guidance should be followed for point-intercept survey monitoring and aquatic plant management plan development; 2) Draft public surveys and shoreline inventory methods must be reviewed and approved by the Department before being initiated.

Trego Lake District: Trego Lake Sedimentation Study: 1) Conduct water level monotoring in the flowage. 2) Determine present flowage volumes using depth transects. 3) Compare current flowage volume volume to that in 1989 DNR study. 4) Determine sources of sediment loading in the Namekagon River abovethe flowage. 5) Determine best locations for placement of sediment traps. 6) Make erosion control recommendations. 7) Prepare a final report that inclides 1 - 6 listed above. 8) Monthly publication of the 'Trego Lake District Newsletter'.9) Information will be disseminated to the public by newsletter, fact sheet, local newspaper articles, public meetings, TV and/or radio spots, and a final report. Project resluts will be reposited at the Office of the Trego Lake District Secretary,Trego Town Hall, National Park Service Visitors' Center, Spooner Public Library, Bank of Spooner, Washburn County Extension Offices, Land Conservation and Soils Conservation Offices, DNR District Headquarters, and the Washburn County Clerks Office.
