Black Otter Lake P & R District: Black Otter Lake Drawdown & Clp/Ewm Control Project: The Black Otter Lake District proposes to control Curly-leaf pondweed (CLP) and Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) through a drawdown, chemical treatment, hand removal, and preventative measures in Black Otter Lake during the period 2009 - 2011. The project elements and deliverables are specified in Black Otter Lake Districts' Aquatic Invasive Species Grant application, dated August 1, 2008. The project includes monitoring the extent and density of CLP and EWM annually through pre-treatment and post-treatment surveys of known infested areas, and monitoring other lake areas for the presence of aquatic invasive species (AIS); treating EWM infested areas with an aquatic herbicide; conducting hand-removal of CLP and EWM; water quality monitoring, and conducting volunteer activities to prevent further AIS infestations, including conducting watercraft inspections. Watercraft inspection records will be entered into the State's online Watercraft Inspection Database. Annual progress reports and a final report summarizing the five-year project will be provided to DNR.

If consultant is to provide the final report, it is recommended the Grantee provide the DNR Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR to receive both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to, submission of grantee's final payment request.

Black Otter Lake P & R District: Black Otter Lake Ais Control: Black Otter Lake District proposes to continue to educate the public and manage aquatic invasive species (AIS) in Black Otter Lake. Specifically, Black Otter Lake District will:
1. Annually assess the aquatic plant community utilizing early-season and fall aquatic invasive species surveys and summer point-intercept surveys following DNR protocols.
2. Control AIS using early-season chemical treatments and hand-pulling.
3. Educate the public on AIS prevention activities utilizing the Clean Boats/Clean Waters Program, Hortonville High School students to conduct AIS surveys, use of trail-style cameras at the public launch, and installation of informational kiosks at the major access points of the lake. Volunteer AIS monitoring results will be entered into SWIMS.
4. Plant emergent plant species and conduct other habitat improvement projects in the lake.
5. Generate annual project reports with a summary of education and control activities, survey results, as well as recommendations for the following year.
The project elements and deliverables are specified in the grant application materials submitted to the Department dated February 1, 2013.

Black Otter Lake P & R District: Res-Black Otter Lake Aquatic Plant Restoration Project: Black Otter Lake District proposes to conduct an aquatic plant restoration project. A total of 6,300 plants will be planted in 2 inlet areas of Black Otter Lake, totaling an area of 5.1 acres. The project goals are 1) improve water quality of Black Otter Lake by removing excess nutrients, 2) stabilize shoreline and lake bottom, 3) filter sediments, 4) provide habitat for fish and wildlife, 5) discourage the growth of algae and other undesirable plants. A follow-up plant survey will be conducted within 3 years to measure project success.

The results will be provided to the Black Otter Lake District and Department of Natural Resources, both in hard copy and electronic form.

Waupaca County: Acq-Keller Lake Land Acquisition: Waupaca County proposes to purchase 36 acres of unimproved property located adjacent to Keller Lake for conservancy purposes.

(The metes and bounds survey of this property indicates 57 acres of property, which includes acreage under Keller Lake: 21 acres. This entire purchase includes taking title of this 21 acres of lake bed. The valuation, however, does not include this 21 acres of lake bed because it has no value.)

Wolf River Preservation Association: Lmi-Wolf River Erosion Control Project: The Wolf River Preservation Association proposes to conduct a project to restore two stream bank erosion areas extending a combined 1,000 linear feet along the main channel of the Wolf River. The project will reduce sediment loading, improve riparian habitat and provide potential fish spawning habitat.

Black Otter Lake P & R District: Black Otter Lake Survey/Analysis/Drawdown Planning Project: The Black Otter Lake District proposes to conduct a feasibility study and report for drawdown and update their existing management plan including the following:

2. Complete qualitative analysis and depth profiles of lake sediments
3. Develop drawdown scenarios and plans
4. Complete updated management plan.
