WHERE THE WEST BEGINS <br />> <br />r <br />?j <br />August 13,1992 <br />AUS 1 8 SS52 <br />Nr. Joel Settles, Manager <br />Hennepin Conservation District <br />12450 Wayzata B.lvd. Suite 205 <br />Minnetonka, MN 55343 <br />Dear Mr. Settles: <br />On behalf of Long Lake, attached is the Grant Application to the <br />Hennepin Conservation District to fight Eurasian Water Milfoil in <br />Long Lake. <br />This Grant Application is being submitted by the City of Long Lake, <br />witl) full cooperation from the City of Orono, as joint benefactors <br />in the resource of the Lake. <br />We are very concerned about the recent infestation of Eurasian <br />Milfoil in our Lake, and are very appreciative of the grant <br />opportunity the Hennepin Conservation Dir^trict offers to help with <br />this problem. <br />After surveying the Lake, we where quite surprised to discover the <br />extent of the recent infestation. The Lake map included with this <br />application indicates the areas where Eurasian Milfoil is currently <br />present. <br />The greatest concentrations of the Eurasian Milfoil are in areas of <br />the Lake associated with launching and docking of boats. This is <br />consi.sLent with how we understand the Milfoil is introduced into <br />lakes. <br />It IS estimated that a treatment area of 17.5 acres of Long Lake <br />will be necessary in order to cover the areas infested. As shown <br />in the application, and reflected on the "Project Cost Budget", an <br />initial treatment for the entire affected area is planned for this <br />fall, with follow-up "spot" treatments as needed ne.xt summer. <br />The attached "Project Funding Budget" indicates the 50% initial <br />treatment financial participation expected from the D.N.R.. The <br />D.N.R. has also offered to locate an application contractor and <br />provide the guidance for the treatments. <br />CITY HALL: 1964 PARK AVENUE • LONG LAKE, MINNESOTA 55356 • PHONE: (612)473-6961 <br />i
