 2022 Treatment Summary

To: Clearwater Lake Conservancy members
From: Conservancy Board

Eurasian milfoil survey was done by James Johnson August 10, 2022.  Link to survey on our website - https://www.clearwaterlakemn.org/uploads/8/4/5/2/84526152/clearwaterewm10aug2022.pdf

In 2021, we did a combination treatment with 0.6 acres of herbicide treatment and hand pulling of the remainder of surveyed areas by scuba divers. Based on our 2022 survey, the hand pulling was quite successful.

Late September 2022, we contracted with Dive Guys to hand pull EWM based on the August survey. No herbicide treatment was done in 2022. Two homeowners have previously refused any treatment of EWM next to their properties including hand pulling. DNR has not required any homeowner approval for hand pulling. We did not hand pull in these two areas in 2022 as a courtesy.

Save the Date - Conservancy Board is planning a lake-owner’s update Zoom meeting on Wednesday December 7th at 7 pm CT.  We can discuss the Eurasian milfoil more then.  More details on this 12/7 meeting will be sent out soon.

Call me with any questions.

Get Involved!  The Board has several important lake management initiatives we have prioritized.  It would be great if we could have additional individuals from the Lake volunteer to be involved.  We also have important ongoing items we need help with.  Some of the specific areas we need help are:
  • Fishing Quality – Individuals who have a passion for the quality of our Lake’s fishing.
  • Rusty Crayfish Issue– With assistance from Gretchen Hansen (U of M professor in Dept of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology), we will be completing count testing of invasive rusty crayfish this summer. We need volunteers to help complete this testing.
  • Milfoil Management – 1-2 individuals to assist with our ongoing management.
  • Social Media – looking at one additional individual to help with website content and our social media efforts.
  • Social Activities – 1-2 individuals to bring back (post COVID) fun social events (e.g. ice cream social).
  • Leadership – Anyone interested in joining the Board.  If you are interested, please let us know prior to the Annual Meeting.
 
Please share this with anyone new to the Lake who might not be on our homeowner’s roster yet.
 
See you on the 28th!
 
Your Clearwater Lake Conservancy Board,
