Curly Leaf treatment/Prospherous Options
James Johnson review results of lake sediment survey and CLP. He reviewed the
differences in herbicides that can be used and suggested we continue with the SONAR
treatment that has been effective the last couple of years. When asked about application
timing, he did not feel that were would be a material difference between under ice or ice
out time. Larry mentioned the DNR is willing to give the permit for underwater treatment of
CLP. Board approved the under ice treatment as recommended. The lake would be treated
at a rate of 4 ppb (parts per billion) and possible bump to add another 2 ppb if needed.
There was also discussion around financial cost of the treatment. Currently the SWSD
contributes $25,000 for the treatment. Discussion was around 3 Rivers Park District and
increase in the levy amount from the current $40k. Board also discussed a possible
residential survey before the annual meeting in April.
