2018 Aquatic Plant Management Proposal and Completed Treatment

Completed Round Trade Lakes 2018 Chemical Treatment of Curly-leaf Pondweed and Eurasian Watermilfoil- By Dave Blumer- LEAPS, August 7, 2018

Planning for chemical management of curly-leaf pondweed (CLP) and Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) in the Trade Lakes (Long Trade, Round, Little Trade, & Big Trade) began in late 2017 and continued through early 2018. Management planning was completed using funds from an existing Wisconsin DNR grant, but implementation in 2018 was dependent on receiving additional grant funding. Three Aquatic
Invasive Species Control grants were applied for in February 2018: one each for Long Trade Lake, Round Lake, and a combined grant application for Big and Little Trade Lakes. This grant funding was awarded to the tune of about $156,000.00 over three years. Along with this award about $52,000.00 worth of donated services, volunteer time, and cash are required as sponsor match over the same three years.
