Lake manager outlines grant work, sampling and carp-barrier plan; board approves cost estimates pursuit

Lake Manager Lianna Spencer told the board she is coordinating several DNR grants that will require on-the-lake surveys this summer and updated the board on ongoing projects. Spencer reported Stantec continues work on a stream restoration project that the Cambridge Community Foundation is supporting with a grant, and said staff completed water-quality sampling for May and quarterly VOC sampling; the district will ask about adding PAH sampling. She also described recent terrestrial management: Tallgrass Restorations conducted a burn at Prairie 2B and overseeding followed herbicide treatment of reed canary grass.
