​2019  PLANNING FOR MILFOIL CONTROL

Milfoil control will continue for 6-8 weeks on Lake Quassapaug in 2019 with the following steps:
  • Removal of any remaining Eurasian and variable  milfoil plants around the main part of the lake continues to be the highest priority. Removal of any Eurasian milfoil plants found in the coves  also remains a high priority.
  • The channels in Tylers Cove and Dam Cove will be reharvested.
  • Further work to reduce the milfoil in the southern end of Big Cove will be undertaken.
  • Hydroraking of water lilies in the northern part of Tylers Cove and a section in the southern part of Big Cove will provide improve recreational areas and reduce degradation of the coves.  
  • Booms will be placed in Tylers Cove and Big Cove as the suction harvesting and hydroraking  are carried out to limit the spread of milfoil fragments.
  • Invasive weed and water quality surveys will be carried out by our New England Aquatic Resources consultants in both spring and fall to measure our progress in weed control and water quality preservation.
