Management Response
1. Provide the methods and metrics for the survey
Surveys will include a visual assessment of the banks of
the pond and the shallow water areas. A throw rake will
be utilized to sample vegetation within the deeper
water sections of the ponds. A throw rake consists of a
weighted head rake on a rope. It is thrown from the
boat or shore, and its teeth collect vegetation materials
as its dragged across the bottom. This allows scientist
to sample and identify plants that are in deeper
portions of the lake.
2. Provide the time between the cutting and
herbicide application
The time between the herbicide application and the
cutting of the vegetation is typically one month. This
will allow time for the chemical to fully move through
the plant and kill the root system. Cutting prematurely
can result in less effective control because the herbicide
may not have reached the roots.
3. Provide if mulching is proposed Mulching will occur at the same time as the cutting.
4. Provide a general list of nuisance and target
species, to be refined with monthly reports
Below is a list of known nuisance and target species.
Additional species may be present and will be noted
within the monitoring reports submitted to the
Conservation Commission.
Species List
Phragmites/Phragmites sp.
Curly-leaf Pond Weed/ Potamogeton crispus
Common Duck Weed/Lemna minor
Filamentous Algae
