July 13, 2022 Follow-up Treatment for Invasive Plants
As previously noted, the initial treatment map for 2022 indicated a significant reduction in the presence of invasive plants in Miner Lake! The first treatment was conducted in early June with a two-week follow-up survey to gauge effectiveness.
That repeat survey indicated the need for a second treatment to address a few area of continued growth, especially in areas 24-29 and 91-96. The follow-up treatment will occur on July 13, 2022
The map below reflects the planned 2022 follow-up treatment areas (July 13, 2022):
– 4.00 acres of Starry Stonewart
– 3.25 acres of non-native Milfoil
Starry Stonewort treatment area includes: 24-29, 91-96, 107-108
As evidence of the improvement from prior years, the 2021 treatment map is below. It included treatment for:
– 3 acres of Starry Stonewart
– 46.5 acres of non-native Milfoil
Residents in treatment areas will receive notice and signs will be posted along the shoreline within 100 feet of treatment areas that indicate what products were used and specific water use restrictions that apply.
We encourage residents to make note of the presence of these plants over the next couple weeks to inform us of the treatment effectiveness throughout the summer season.
