SEWRPC has completd a draft Aquatic Plant Managment Plan Update for Phantom Lakes.
The plan recommends continuing mechanical harvesting as a primary control method for Eurasian Water Milfoil, but also adding small targeted applications of granular 2,4-d herbicide early in the spring for problem Eurasian Water Milfoil areas.
To comment on the plan, come to the February 22, 2012 board meeting at the Phantom Lake YMCA camp dining hall at 7pm. Or
email the district or telephone a board member with your input.
The DNR granted the PLMD's request for a 2011 harvesting permit with conditions. Harvesting areas are specified in maps for Lower and Upper Phantom Lakes based in part on the distribution of aquatic plants.
The Annual Meeting of the Phantom Lakes Management District was held on Thursday, August 25, 2011.
Bob Muth and Dave Fait were re-elected to three year terms as commissioners.
District residents approved a budget and levy for 2012.
