Review Restoration Projects
Mr. Bing stated that the study by EnviroScience has been completed. Mr. Zagar has
placed the information at the Library for review and sent notices to riparian owners.
The deputy commissioners will review at a future meeting in December and make a
recommendation for 2001. Mr. Zagar stated one problem with the use of weevils to
control the milfoil is winterization. One of the recommendations of the consultants is
that riparian owners cease cutting their lawns in late summer or early fall on the
shoreline to help sustain the population of weevils during the winter. Scott Toshner of
the DNR would like to discuss milfoil eradication strategies with the deputy
commissioners. Mr. Zagar believes this information would be valuable before a final
decision is made.
Mr. Pilak stated the dike/dam has been defined as a dam. With that, the DNR is now
working to determine what needs to be done to repair it. The drawdown from Little
Muskego Lake was quite successful and had very little effect on Big Muskego Lake.
Mr. Pilak also gave an update on the osprey project. There are three more years to go.
The project has been successful despite the fact that several birds died.
Discuss Future Projects
There was nothing new to report.
