Amacoy Property Owners Association: Amacoy Lake Curlyleaf Contol Project: The Amacoy Lake Property Owners Association is sponsoring a 3 year project for control of Curly Leaf Pondweed (CLP). The first year will include an early season herbicide treatment on approximately 5 acres of CLP which was discovered in 2008. The project includes 3 years of CLP treatment.

The project includes the following goals: 1) An early season herbicide treatment on approximately 5 acres of CLP in Amacoy Lake to control the spread.; 2) Monitor the CLP throughout the year to determine success of the herbicide treatment and to continue the mapping of CLP; 3) Evaluate the native plant response; 4) Evaluate if it is feasible to harvest CLP.

Project deliverables include: 1) A final report summarizing the outcome of the treatment including a description of declining CLP populations in treated areas and the response of native aquatic plants; 2) CLP will be mapped prior to treatment and after treatment. The lake will be surveyed for CLP in mid July through mid August after the herbicide treatment to determine efficacy of the treatment and regrowth.

Specific conditions for this Project: 1) Obtain an APM permit prior treatment (follow conditions in permit); 2) Implement the pre and post treatment monitoring protocol.; 3) Summary report listing areas treated and the effectiveness of the treatment; 4) The WDNR encourages the association to develop APM plan (and conduct a point intercept plant survey) by applying for a future AIS grant.

Amacoy Property Owners Association: Amacoy Lake Curlyleaf Control Project Part 2: The Amacoy Lake Property Owners Association is sponsoring a second grant for control of Curly Leaf Pondweed (CLP). The project continues the goals and activites of the prior project funded with AIRR-092-11 as described below.

Amacoy Property Owners Association: Amacoy Lake Aquatic Plant Management Plan: Curly Leaf Pondweed (CLP) was discovered in the Amacoy Lake in 2008. CLP was treated in spring 2011 (Rapid Response Grant).The Amacoy Lake Property Owners Association will complete an APM Plan and conduct AIS education and water quality monitoring activities.

Project goals include: 1) Develop an APM plan to guide management efforts of both native and invasive plants; 2) Continue Clean Boats/Clean Waters and Citizen Lake Monitoring activities; 3) Create a map showing locations of fish cribs, navigational hazards, and boat landings. Other access points and CLP bed distribution; 4) Provide opportunities for increasing the effectiveness of the lake association.

Project deliverables include: 1) A comprehensive APM plan including an AIS prevention strategy and monitoring strategy; 2) Provide maps (including CLP beds) to the lake association for management; 3) Provide an updated lake map.

Specific conditions for this Project: 1) The WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of all data and or reports/plans generated as a result of this project; 2) Please contact UW-Extension staff for information on training, workshops or educational materials for the AIS Monitoring (Laura Herman, 715-365-8998) Program; 3) Begin implementing the pre and post monitoring program following DNR protocol.

City Of Ladysmith: Res-Corbett Lake Aeration Project: The City of Ladysmith will conduct an improvement project on Corbett Lake, which lies within the corporate limits of the city. This project involves the installation of a system of bottom aerators in the lake. Bottom aerators would be installed at 11 locations in the eastern half of the lake basin. Compressors would be located within Falge Park, which is located along the northern shoreline of Corbett Lake. The park is owned and operated by the City of Ladysmith.

A special condition of this grant project is that the installation and operation of this aeration system must comply with all conditions of the water regulation permit issued by this department for the aeration system.

The City of Ladysmith shall notify the Department of Natural Resources upon completion of the installation of the aeration system.

Rusk County: Amacoy Lake Water Quality And Non Source Pollution Study: 1) Collect water chemistry samples at three sites for two years in May, June, July, and August. 2) Collect and preserve algal samples on each sampling date.3) Compile land use maps to identify potential source areas of nonpoint source pollution. Summarize land use and soil type information. 4) Develop map of septic tank locations in the watershed. Analyze nutrient loading from septic tanks.5) Prepare final report including summary of data collected, evaluation of the lake's trophic status, watershed and septic system maps and estimates of nutrient loading from septic systems.6) Information will be disseminated to the public through newsletter mailings, public meetings, fact sheet distribution, and local media.
