Surveys will be done once/month from June through September to monitor treated areas and to look for new EWM locations.
Project deliverables include: 1) Enter CBCW and CLMN data into SWIMS; 2) Provide maps (including EWM beds) to the lake associations for management; 3) Results of pre and post monitoring surveys of EWM beds. Are control activities successful and how are native plants responding?; 4) Provide documentation that the above goals were completed.

Grindstone Lake Association: Little Grindstone Clp Control: The Grindstone Lake Association is sponsoring an aquatic invasive species (AIS) control project on Little Grindstone Lake. In 2007, the AIS curly-leaf pondweed (CLP) was collected and confirmed within Lac Courte Oreilles. Since its discovery, action has been taken to control the spread and infestation of CLP with herbicide treatments in 2009, 2010, and one planned for 2011. A pioneer infestation of this plant has now been found in Little Grindstone Lake during a 2010 survey. Documentation and mapping of this new infestation showed its presence at 2.35 acres.
Treatment of CLP within Little Grindstone Lake is recommended in 2011 and beyond (through 2013) to achieve control and prevent its introduction in Grindstone Lake, which is directly connected to it. Prior to treatment, a survey of the lake to verify proposed treatment areas each year will be completed and any adjustments to those or new areas will be done.
Project Goals and Objectives: 1) Monitor CLP annually for a three year period on Little Grindstone Lake; 2) Effectively manage CLP; 3) Restore the native aquatic plant community; 4) Protect fish and wildlife habitat.
Project Deliverables: 1) Mailing of required information packet to lakeshore owners; 2) Chemical control of CLP; 3) Monitoring data measuring effectiveness of chemical control for 2011 \2013 2013; 4) Map of CLP distribution pre & post-treatment for 2011 \2013 2013; 5) Map of potential 2012 - 2013 treatment areas of CLP.
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) Implement the pre and post treatment monitoring protocol (DNR May, 2007); 3) Summary report on the effectiveness of the treatment.

Courte Oreilles Lake Assoc.: Res-Lac Courte Oreilles Shoreland Restoration: Courte Oreilles Lake Association is sponsoring a project to design and install shoreline buffer restorations on Lac Courte Oreilles and Little Lac Courte Oreilles Lakes.
Project tasks include: 1) Shoreline buffer design/restoration on approximately 25 shoreline sites; 2) Modeling to estimate TSS and TP reductions from buffer restorations; 3) Develop and distribute shoreline buffer educational materials.
Shoreline restorations shall follow standards set forth in NR 191.24(3) unless mutually agreed to in writing with the regional lake biologist before implementation occurs. Shoreline restorations using grant funding for plants or labor require a Department approved restrictive covenant that permanently establishes the vegetative buffer on the parcel. Maintenance, operation, and protection will be specified in a ten-year contract for each BMP site. The Department may perform site inspection and/or monitoring.
Project deliverables include: a report and map summarizing project activities including modeling results and educational materials developed, square feet of shoreline buffer restored, individual property shoreline restoration plans, pre-post photos of funded restorations, signed 10 year maintenance agreements, and copies of all Shoreland Vegetative Protection Agreements.
Special conditions: Applicable water regulation and/or county zoning permits must be issued before construction activities commence.
This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps, and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Biologist.

Washburn County: Res-Shell Lake Riparian Buffer Restoration Project: Washburn County will implement an assistance project to work with Shell Lake lakeshore owners, as the water level recedes, to return as much waterfront as possible to its natural condition through planted restoration projects and through protection of areas that will regenerate naturally.
Shell Lake has experienced flood conditions the past 3-4 years as a result of unusually high water levels on this 2600 acre "seepage" lake. There is currently no existing natural outlet for this lake. Recently, the City of Shell Lake has installed a "pipeline" outlet and the water levels are beginning to recede to a more "normal" level.
This program will provide for technical assistance to individual shoreline property owners with the potential for shoreline renewal and/or protection of native vegetation. Cost sharing will be provided for site assessment and evaluation, site design for restoration/preservation, and preparation/planting of vegetation. The project goal is to restore native vegetation on a minimum of 90 lots on the lake.
Project deliverables for this project include a final report listing all project accomplishments including the number of parcels or lots participating in the program.
Special Conditions:
All shoreline habitat restoration activities conducted under this grant will be subject to the conditions specified in Wis. Adm. Code NR191.24(3)(a) to Wis. Adm. Code NR191.24(3)(j).

Round Lake Property Owners Association: Experiment With Carlson Road Dam On Lt. Round Lake: The Round Lake Property Owners Association is sponoring a project to evaluate water level management alternatives for Round, Little Round and Osprey Lakes.
Project goals includes: 1) Gain a clear, thorough and common understanding of the differences in performance of the options under consideration for a permanent solution for managing the water levels on the lakes within the Round Lake Watershed; 2) Establishment a database that accurately documents the relationship of the water levels on all three lakes to each other as well as to the control structures in the system. The data will also detail how rainfall impacts water levels within the watershed, including peak bounce and recovery times. This data will be invaluable in the development of future water level management plans. It will also serve as a base line to measure changes in the system over time; 3) Establish the optimum water level management system that is critical to maintaining a healthy eco-system, and preventing damage to the lake through the spreading of invasive plant species, shoreline erosion and flooding.
Project deliverables include: All data gathered along with a comprehensive written analysis of this data which addresses the viability of the passive structure as an alternative to the County\2019s recommended plan to replace the dam with a box culvert
Specific project conditions: 1) Provide electronic and hard copy) of final report; 2) Enter water level data into SWIMS (DNR DATABASE).
