Prevent, Control, or Eradicate Aquatic Invasive Species
The Eurasian watermilfoil and curly-leaf pondweed infestation at Lakeside Beach (swim area) is approximately 1 acre. These species have been removed using benthic barriers, diver-assisted suction removal, and hand-pulling. This project is being implemented in coordination with EIP Project Number 01.03.01.0030, Lakeside Beach & Marina Aquatic Invasive Plant Control UV Light Pilot II.
