Long Lake City Council, Long Lake Creek Carp Management-Phase 1 <br />December 10, 2018 <br />Page !2 <br />! <br />The orange line represents the 89 lbs./acre threshold value. <br />To mitigate this and reverse the impacts on water quality, the partnership is planning to collect <br />additional data on the carp population within the entire subwatershed under a BWSR Accelerated <br />Implementation Grant. This funding has not been secured yet, but BWSR will be notifying <br />recipients by the end of December 2018. A parallel effort is being planned to begin removal of <br />carp biomass in Long Lake beginning in early 2019. This will be part of a large plan to holistically <br />address carp within the entire subwatershed through barrier installation, biomass removal, <br />predator fish, and habitat improvement. <br />Residents of Long Lake, Orono, and Medina, have had hands-on opportunities to be involved <br />with carp data collection. Members of the LLWA, community youth, and Orono Advanced <br />Placement Science students assisted with carp electrofishing, marking, and telemetry surveys <br />throughout phase 1. <br />K:\011933-000\Admin\Docs\Report\MEMO_CityCouncilUpdate_LLCarp_121018.docx
