Noxious Weed: Sportsman’s Lake Project Meeting for Residents and Neighbors

Since the confirmation by the Department of Ecology of Eurasian watermilfoil’s presence in Sportsmans Lake, the San Juan County Noxious Weed Control Program applied for and received a grant from Ecology to help write an integrated aquatic vegetation management plan (IAVMP) for future control of that species.  As a Class B noxious weed, Eurasian watermilfoil is high on the state’s priority list of invasive species control.

San Juan County has just hired an environmental consulting company, The Watershed Company, to write a rough draft of this management plan for Sportsmans Lake, which we hope will be completed by the end of February.  TWC would like to have a meeting with the owners of the lake, neighbors and interested individuals, during the week of February 6^th-12^th.  Since it is expected that many owners are not available during the day, I would like to propose a meeting in the evening and on a weekday.  Thursday, February 10^th at 6 PM is tentatively scheduled and would take place via Zoom. Instructions attached below.

If you cannot attend the meeting at this time, we hope to have it recorded for later viewing.  I am happy to try to answer any questions beforehand and am looking forward to seeing you.
