tLake Vegetation Management Plan ® Posttreatment data collection Narrative: At least one point- intercept survey will occur annually during the peak growth of native vegetation (late June through August). Reliable water quality data must also be collected throughout the season. The survey reports and water quality data must be provided to the DNR, the lake association, and other interested parties by 31 December of each year. It will be the responsibility of the lake association to make sure a point intercept is conducted. (Currently the Grass lake WMO has been conductiong point - intercept surveys). ® Evaluation Narrative: The DNR, in conjunction with other interested parties, will review the point- intercept survey(s) and water quality results annually. If the point- intercept surveys or water quality data reveal that the treatments appear to be producing results that do not meet the goals of this plan, then the approach to control may be revised at the discretion of the DNR. Examples of reasons to revise the approach may include, but are not limited to, notable decreases in water quality or obvious decreases in native vegetation. If treatments need to be modified, the DNR will work with the associations to develop an alternative management strategy. F-1 Requirements for Signature Waiver: Narrative: Currently a waiver for signature is not authorized. If a waiver for the signature requirement is issued under MS 103G.615 Subp 3a(b) an alternative form of notification is required. The allowed alternate forms of notification are a news releases or public notices in a local newspaper, a public meeting, or a mailing to the most recent permanent address of affected landowners. The notification must be given annually and must include: the proposed date of treatment, the target species, the method of control or product being used, and instructions on how the landowner may request that control not occur adjacent to the landowner's property. ® Conditions of permits [limits on amounts of area to be treated, method and timing of control, etc]: Product(s): Herbicides to be used may include endothall (such as Aquathol K or Aquathol Super K) for curlyleaf pondweed (CLP) and Auxin mimic (such as 2,4 D and Triclopyr) for Eurasian Watermilfoil (EWM) or others. Protocols describing our current understanding of selective treatments including: target concentraion, timing of application and frequency of treatments are attached in Appendix 1. ® Other: Narrative: Additional information is contained in the following appendices: Lake Owasso LVMP 8
