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.

Sawyer County: Acq-Nelson Lake, Big Island Land Acquisition: Sawyer County has purchased a parcel of land on "Big Island" in Nelson Lake, Sawyer County. The parcel contains 26 acres and more than 2300 feet of shoreline on Nelson Lake. The Big Island on Nelson Lake is approximately 547 acres, of which 262 acres are presently owned by Sawyer County and are enrolled in Wisconsin's County Forest Program. The entire island falls within the boundaries of the Sawyer County Forest. A letter of waiver of retroactivity has been issued for this project effective for the time period of July 28, 1998 to June 30, 1999.

Sawyer County must comply with the conditions of the "Long Term Land Management Plan" for this property as listed in the project description as attached to the Project Application (Form 8700-240) for this Lake Protection Grant. The deed restriction clause as listed in the Letter of Retroactivity must also be inserted in the deed.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Whitefish Lake Property Owners Assoc: D.O. Meter Acquisition: Long term Dissolved oxygen monitoring will take place on Whitefish Lake for the Self Help Monitoring Program.

The project includes the following goals: 1) More efficient and less time consuming for volunteer; 2) Allow for testing of DO at more frequent intervals to develop a more comprehensive profile; 3) Increase accuracy of testing; 4) Allow for rapid testing of multiple sites following herbicide treatments of EWM; 5) Develop a benchmark of Whitefish Lake water quality.

Project deliverables include: Proof that the meter was purchased.

Specific conditions for this Project: 1) DO profile data should be sent to Frank Pratt, Fishery Biologist in Hayward; 2) The information collected by the Self-help monitor should be entered into the department database; 3) The department will only fund the purchase of the Hach HQ 30 meter. The lake association may buy a different model, but they must pay the difference.

Grindstone Lake Association: Building Citizen-Agency Capacity For Lake Management: Activities: The Grindstone Lake Association is sponsoring a small-scale lake planning grant for organizational development which will focus on identifying roles and responsibilities for specific lake management topics and developing a framework for coordination among citizens and agencies to direct lake management. Project activities include: 1) Recruitment of citizens and agency staff to facilitate and participate in a 1.5 day citizen-agency engagement workshop. 2) Presentations on the biological, physical, chemical, and cultural aspects of Grindstone Lake; 3) Presentations on the roles and responsibilities of agency staff related to water quality protection, shoreland and lake habitat protection, and aquatic invasive species. This is followed by a gap analysis of necessary roles and responsibilities. 4) Develop a \201Croad map\201D of collaborative citizen-agency strategies to protect and/or restore lake health including a timetable and schedule.

Project deliverables include: 1) A citizen-agency engagement workshop; 2) Video of presentations on the various aspects of Grindstone Lake; 3) A matrix of roles, responsibilities, and resources for each critical lake issue (including a gap analysis); 4) A timetable and schedule of citizen-agency collaborations on critical lake management needs for 2020-2022. 5) Results/report will be presented to the lake association and at the Wisconsin Lakes Convention.

Specific project conditions: WDNR Lake Biologist will be provided with an electronic copy of workshop results, videos and report.
