EWM– Steve Fleming
Status
• EWM is back at a manageable level
• We received an additional $20,000 WDNR grant
• 2013 survey did a great job of finding EWM
• 2013 chemical treatment and manual removal were very effective
• Following three pages show three maps of where we were one year
ago to where we are now.

EWM Plan for 2014 & Lessons Learned – Steve Fleming
1. It all starts with finding the plants
• New survey company, Onterra, provides a more thorough
survey and better technology. Three surveys per year.
1. Pretreatment
2. Early Summer
3. Peak Biomass in late Summer.
• Adopt a Shoreline remains critical
2. For small colonies – manually remove
3. For colonies that cannot be manually removed, chemically treat
We treated / manually removed all known EWM locations in June, 2014

Thanks you very much for all those who volunteer!
EWM Management is ALL OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES!
It is here to stay….we need to manage it!
We are sure there is more EWM than is shown on the map
• Learn to identify EWM!
• If people are working around your dock removing plants,
offer to help. Offer to help carry away plants if nothing
else.
• Get involved!
We continue to learn!!

Flowering Rush – Steve Fleming
Goal: Do research to find method for managing flowering rush.
Once found, utilize the method throughout Archibald Lake
Accomplishments
• 2011 – Did chemical trials with two chemicals (Renovate Max G and
Aquathol K).
• 2012 results: Renovate Max G saw a 59% reduction in plant
density. Aquathol K, no significant reduction
• 2013 – Repeated trials with larger areas of Renovate Max G and
Diquat
• Map showing 2013 treatment areas is on the next page
• 2014 results: 62% reduction with Renovate Max G and 86%
reduction with Diquat

• Control Area– No Change
year to year
• Max G – 62% reduction.
2011 was 59%. Minimal
reduction in emerged

• Diquat – 86% reduction.
Requires 2 treatments per
year to be effective.

Flowering Rush - Summary of What We Learned to Date
• Renovate Max G
• Works well for submerged plants (77% reduction)
• Small impact on emerged plant if you catch it early (25%)
• Probably due to waxy coating that forms on plant when it emerges
• Diquat
• Works well on submergent and emergent plants (86%)
• Requires two treatments per year to impact rhizomes
• The second is in the summer when natives are growing more.
• Current research indicates 3-5 years of treatment is necessary to deplete
rhizomes
• Sent rhizomes and leaf materials to Montana and Switzerland for biocontrol
analysis. At least 8 – 10 years off…..if it works

2014 Flowering Rush Treatment

Annual Meeting
6/28/14 23Townsend Town Hall
Summary of Invasives– Steve Fleming
• Eradication is an unlikely outcome for EWM or Flowering Rush
• There will likely be more invasives
• Our best course of action is:
1. Don’t let it get in – Clean Boats / Clean Waters
2. If it does get in, find it early and keep it small – Adopt a
Shoreline and Surveys – Don’t slack off here!
3. If it gets established – More aggressive approaches, like
chemical treatment are required.
4. Continue manual removal efforts for small areas on all
invasives
