John, My brother sent me these this morning. I hate it when he's right..660 acres are infected, that's what they are treating. My guess is they will not do any preventive treating. The milfoil has to be pressent or your just throwing money into the lake. We're all really good at that hey..
Here's what my bro sent me:
The LLPRD Communications Committee Webnotes February 2007 stated:
"A letter has been worked out to send to the Menominee Tribal Legislature
for the approval of 660 Ac to be treated for EWM this year".
On December 5th 2006, during the SPECIAL MEETING it was stated:
"Chad Cason presented data that they had collected from the past year’s Eurasian Water Milfoil treatment. In 2005 there was 538 acres of Milfoil found and 218 were treated. In August 660 acres were found. In the treated lakes there was a reasonable amount of success 35-51% reduction, but the milfoil expanded in the untreated lakes."
...and...
"Pete Harris questioned Mary Gansburg based on the data that was presented for some idea of the approval for the large scale treatment for next year. Mary responded that if the DNR agrees with the results, they may lean towards a full scale treatment. Pete questioned about the process of getting the chemical treatment application started and the size of the treatment. Mary stated that they should get the application in as soon as possible and it would be 3-4 weeks before the DNR would have their results."
